The Colbert Report. Chrome to Phone streamlines desktop to phone transfers - CNET News. The Chrome to Phone installation process is simple, but the limitations of the Android marketplace mean users must search for the app manually on their phones.
(Credit: Screenshot by Seth Rosenblatt/CNET) Google is providing its users with an elegant and simple method to transfer links and snippets of text from its Chrome browser to its Android handsets. Available on Thursday, Chrome to Phone requires two installations and a Google account, yet works almost effortlessly to make what you're looking at on your desktop instantly accessible on your smartphone, too.
It also requires users to be running Android 2.2 (Froyo) or later. Users must install the Chrome extension, which frustratingly doesn't provide a QR code or other easy access to the Android marketplace link (available on Download.com). There is a Firefox add-on for Chrome to Phone, too. Once the app has been downloaded to the phone, running it for the first time will walk you through the setup process.

The answer is a format that merges social networking with multimedia in an online meeting space where students and instructors can see each other type in real time, conduct private conversations, and edit documents simultaneously. Wave also sports a playback option that lets users see the development of an online conversation between students working on a group project.
The screen starts out blank and incrementally fills with user activity. “Free is very good,” he said. Google Wave has great potential for education. Synergy-plus - Google Code. Developer's Guide - Themes - Google Code. Important: iGoogle will be retired on November 1, 2013.
