I would like to download itunes to my new Sprint HTC EVO 4G Android phone. I would like to access the features on my itunes account. Would it mess up my phone?
Can I play the games that I play on my ipod touch?

Most phones will not accept iTunes mp4 format. You have to burn them onto a cd and them re-upload them onto windows media player.

I do not know if this person has ever used itunes before but not all tracks on itunes are mp4. those are usually videos. Itunes sometimes uses the .aac format but you can get a batch converter to change those to MP3 which ITUNES also uses as well!
About using itunes... Right now, i don't know if anyone has scripted a patch for this. For now, you may have to use a different player (Windows Media Player, VLC, WinAmp) to allow syncing. The other way is to just DRAG n DROP files while you have the phone's card "mounted" to the pc to transfer files. It is how i currently move music files onto the phone

The music you download from iTunes is drm protected. in order to play it on non-apple mp3/mp4 players, you need to remove the drm and convert the protected music to drm free mp3 format. the easiest way is to burn an audio cd in itunes and rip it back as mp3 format. Or you can get some software to help you.
I would recommend you follow this guide to learn how to convert purchase itunes music (m4p) to mp3:

I wanted to leave a recommendation and some tips for a music/playlist syncing option that works with the EVO and is NOT itunes.
There are a bazillion reviews and resources around for media managers, but I was an iphone 3GS user, used itunes regularly, and depended on the playlists to get me through the workday, or a run...
Mozilla's Songbird (http://getsongbird.com/) is the program I started using last week to replace my itunes.
I'm using a stable beta release, (1.7.2b1) and while the website does not state that it works with our EVO, when I plugged it in, it was recognized as an HTC Android Device!
It allows syncing options that are very, very close to itunes, and allowed me to set up a sync that works in a way I'm familiar with.
I know that you can manage your media directly through mass storage mode, but this app allows me to have my desktop media player sync my media automatically without any shenanigans. Plus mozilla are good people, imho, and I like using their products. Smiley
Just an FYI for any former itunes users out there, looking for a viable replacement with their new EVOs!
