Clean install... and now all my apps are gone!

I just did a clean install on my MBP and planning on doing a new Time Machine-backup over my old one (thus in fact deleting the old Time Machine). I haven't yet restored my user folder and documents (they're safe). Obviously my iPhone apps aren't restored in the user folder and documents.



I have so many apps... how can I get all of them back on iTunes?



I haven't connected my iPhone 4 to my MBP yet, afraid it'll synchronize the new state over the old one and thus lose everything!
