Too often I find myself reading a site and thinking it would be great to be able to read on my phone or find myself reading something online and having to run out the door. Since a lot of my travel lately is by bus I find myself thinking as I run out the door I'll have to check that site on the bus but inevitably I don't remember by the time I'm on the bus or simply can't remember the address. Either way the potential to read that site has fallen to zero.

Chrome to phone seeks to alleviate that. Chrome to phone is a two part system that allows you to push websites directly to your phone. The first part is a browser extension you install in chrome and an app you install on your phone. The catch, you need Android 2.2 and must run the Chrome browser for it to work. There are other solutions for other browsers but they require accounts etc. You launch the app in the phone and simply select what account you want to use and and thats pretty much it. Set up the browser extension the same way and your done.

When you're on a site just hit the button on your browser and, nearly instantly, the website comes up on your phone. You can set up the app to automatically launch the site in your browser or not and then you can just launch the app and browse the history of sites pushed to your phone. Simple, slick and handy as hell. For example you can push map data from google, links, and pictures directly to your phone.

I recently did a manual update to Froyo on my Vibrant and and used this to quickly repopulate my bookmarks.

This is a great simple addition that has the power to slightly revolutionize browsing on the phone. I give it 2 reckless thumbs, big toes, and a questionable appendage up. Yup, its that handy.
