Push Content to Android Devices with Chrome to Phone
Sometimes it can be a pain having to e-mail URLs or finding cross-platform bookmark syncing solutions when you just want to be able to quickly look at a webpage you are currently viewing on a mobile device. Perhaps you want to have the ability to copy and paste text from a webpage in Chrome on your desktop to your phone (since typing on that tiny soft keyboard can be time consuming).
Well, you can do these things using Chrome to Phone which is a free browser extension for Google Chrome.
One other neat feature is the ability to highlight a phone number on a webpage, right click and have it sent to the dialer on your phone ready to call.

Otherwise, to send the current web address to your phone just click on the Chrome to Phone button in the browser toolbar.

Laziness or convenience? Personally, I reckon it’s great to see this sort of interactivity between the desktop and mobile devices and will be watching closely to see where Google takes this functionality.

My name is Boyd and I’m a Service Management Specialist with a knack for operational data gathering, transformation, analysis and reporting.
In 2012, I obtained my Masters of Science in Information Technology through the University of New South Wales @ The Australia Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA).
I was also part of an online community known as the Panasonic Insider Crew in the capacity of “Insider Guru” for Panasonic Australia where I interacted with other tech enthusiasts and find out more about Panasonic's latest gadgets.
I love technology, gadgets, and the Internet and maintain a keen interest in these areas locally, nationally, and globally. I hope by sharing my views on these topics that people will receive an honest point of view from someone with a genuine interest in these topics.
