New Android App Turns You Into Jack Bauer (err – your phone at least, sort of).
You know how in 24 Jack is always getting stuff sent to his phone?
Now you can do the same thing. If you’ve ever been doing something on your computer and wanted to send it to your phone (this seems to happen to me daily), now you can with Chrome to Phone.
If you’re wondering why you haven’t heard of this app before, it’s because it only works on Android 2.2 – which is still only available (as of this writing) on the Nexus One or to those of you who have rooted your Android phone and installed the custom ROM (if you’re going to do it, I’d recommend Bugless Beast, Titanium, or Chevy).
I see myself using this app mostly for maps and for sending files to my phone (like non Android Market Apps), but it comes in handy for a whole lot of things, especially long, complicated links I don’t want to painstakingly type in via my Droid keyboard.
If you have Android 2.2, just go install this extension for Chrome and then install the Chrome to Phone Android App on your phone and you’re all set.
For those who wonder how all this magic works, it uses Gmail synching to do it.
