actually iPad doesn't sync through itunes. it reads/writes directly to the ipad.
is it redundant to itunes? yep. and it costs $10. but some people said they didn't like working with itunes, so this is an alternative.
it does have a bigger window. and it offers a thumbnail view as well as standard text view. and it allowed me to peer into some apps that itunes doesn't, although i don't think it should and this is more a bug than a feature.
i was just pointing out that we have another option besides itunes now.
having the local backup is actually nice, i can go and yank a file out on my mac without having to hook the ipad up first. and something i found more useful, i can drag and drop a file into PadSync without the ipad hooked up, when i plug it in next, it will sync in the file. handy for when i am sitting at my mac but my ipad isn't around and i get an email attachment or download some new document i want to read later. i was piling them up in a folder named "sync later" and then i'd have to remember to get to it when i had my ipad around for syncing. now i can drag it in now and forget about it and padsync will add it for me.
will the app be useful for everyone? nope. for some? yep.
