Wifi sync works really well…
I’m happy that they finally added this feature… I was plugging my device to my computer just for the backup… Now, each time I put my iPhone on my Sony radio, it will do the job.

Just to make sure you cannot use the wifi sync feature on a pc yet? If so I guess there isn’t really a reason to update.
