Tamara, that puzzled me also - so I went and read the Features section of the developer's website carefully looking for the value in their use case, and it looks like the best description of that is here:

"With PadSync, files are always up-to-date and accessible on both devices. Any changes you make are automatically synchronized the next time you connect your iPad to your Mac. You'll never need to manually manage files."

That description can be found on the features tab of the developer's site:

So the bottom line is that it syncs changes locally to the iPad - no need to copy newer versions of files over. That is managed through an automatic sync. I don't think that iTunes file sharing has that feature - at least not yet.
