Well, I'm guessing the fact that you can initiate a sync from the PC software is just a convenience for when you're first setting up the Wifi. "Oh, you're here setting up Wifi? Want us to kick off a sync for you?" I guess they are thinking most people will use the app for changing the configuration?
