Google Chrome To Phone

[Guest houstonblaney1]

So far, I'm enjoying all of the goodness that Froyo has to offer, and obviously, and round of applause for P for all the hard work. It's cool discovering all of the little things Froyo and the fantastical Nexus One can achieve together.

Anywho, I came across a blog posting on Android And Me. The posting, as per the title of this topic, is "Google Chrome to Phone: Most overlooked Froyo feature". The posting details a neat little Google Chrome extension (Mozilla Firefox Extension is also available) that allows you to send whatever webpage you're looking at on your desktop/laptop to your trusty Nexus One. All you need to do is install the extension, install the APK (details in the blog posting), register your computer and phone with the same Google account, and shazam!

I tried it out viewing the MoDaCo Nexus One main page. Works like a charm. It apparently can send both http:// and https:// pages. I can definitely see myself using it often as I'm a news junkie.

And some (read: Apple fanboys) say the Nexus One is out-of-date.

Also you can create navigation route on Desktop Google Maps and then send to phone which will invoke Google Maps in navigation mode.

This of course will work only where GMAPS navigation is currently available but in other cases will launch Google Maps application on your N1

Yup it's one of the best features, and I hope the chrome-to-phone app can become an option in the kitchens soon...
