That in itself is just another nuance I don't enjoy when it come to wireless syncing.
If I'm going to plug it in to sync I might as well plug it into the Pc
I'm not following you. You don't like arbitrary syncing yet that's not what is supposed to happen. Syncing is only done either when you plug the device into a power source (which is rarely my computer in my case) or request the sync manually.
I find plugging it in by my bed side, and knowing it will sync while its charging overnight, very handy. Or rather I did when it used to work. :O
