Synchronous just means "at the same time," so the difference is basically between immediate forms of communication. Here are some examples:

Asynchronous communication:

  • email
  • Message Boards
  • Letters
  • Blogs
  • Video or Music recordings
  • Online discussion boards

Synchronous communication:

  • Phone calls
  • Audio and Video conferences
  • In person concerts
  • Instant messaging / chat
  • In-person conversations / meetings

Clearly the synchronous method is much faster, but the method that is best for a specific communication depends on the circumstances.
