Android an' Droid App Update: PC Chromes Phones - Chrome to Phone

Chrome2Phone.pngGoogle is now offering the Chrome to Phone Extension for Chrome that lets users send links and other information from Chrome to their Android devices.

This extension adds a button to Chrome that lets users seamlessly pushes links, maps, and currently selected text and phone numbers to an Android device with Chrome to phone.

Users also have to install the Chrome to Phone Android application on an Android phone. The Chrome to Phone application can be downloaded from Market (search for ‘Chrome to Phone’). Chrome to Phone requires a mobile phone running Android 2.2
(“Froyo”) or later.

The best feature is the ability to send a phone number from a web page to an Android phone and it shows up in the contact list. You can also send maps directly to your phone.
