Does iTunes need to be running on my PC in order for the wifi sync to work?
I know the computer needs to be on, but ot sure if I need to have iTunes
open.

Can WiFi be used to connect to iTunes and sync data. The manual seems to
imply hard (usb)connection only for syncing. Maybe I am wrong.

iOS 5 brings you WiFi syncing

iTunes must be running.

If I manually initiate a Wi-Fi sync on the device while my computer is
on but iTunes is not running, the Settings app says 'Sync will resume
when "<computer_name>" is available.'

Whether you sync via WiFi or with USB, it's done with iTunes. If you sync
with USB, you have to have the iPad (or iPhone) close enough to the
computer to connect them with the USB cable. If you use WiFi, the iPad can
be anywhere so long as it is connected to your router via WiFi.

When using WiFi and iTunes to sync data is there any indication on the
mobile device when the syncing had been completed or is this done in the
background? I wouldn't want to turn off my iPad when the syncing of data
was not complete.
