Anyone else notice the spelling mistakes?
"For example, if you looking at a page on your computer than you want to take on the go (something I do all the time), you can now just use a Chrome extension and with one click, it automatically appears on your phone."
you're, then.
Definitely a cool feature but I don't get the "deadly" part. You need to be logged into your Google Account in order to send remote commands. It seems that pop-ups on your phone would be the least of your worries...
Strangely, I get a server error in the browser every time I try to use this. Also, Windows (7) has taken to asking me if I want to give the browser admin privileges every time I launch.
I'm having the same problem (server error, but on a Mac) - it's good to know we're not the only ones.
My phone is registered using a custom domain, but I switched the account to a GMail address and ensured I was signed in using a standard Google account when installing the extension. Perhaps it's an issue with phones tied to GAFYD accounts. Is yours?
I think my problem was tied to an underlying flaw in the Java runtime, because I had several new problems after installing the C2P thing - starting Chrome would ask for admin permission every time, apps couldn't be enabled and so on. New JRE + uninstall and reinstall of Chrome and everything's fine now. Gotta love browser sync.
Now that it's working, it's pretty fast and effective; I look forward to seeing what else can be done with it. For example, it could be very handy for trip planning and so forth.
The big deal here is that you can launch intents from your browser. This is really similar to what we used to do back-in-the-day with SMS interception. It was a really useful technique.
This gives us something really similar on Android phones. It's not really just about getting something to open in your browser. You'll eventually see this deeply integrated into actual apps, and that's really cool.
Bookmarks : I already do this with Firefox / Delicious and it goes both ways and to every computer I use and anyone who is interested.
Maps : I already do that with Google's My Maps Editor and any Google Maps compatible browser. I sit at my desk and update pins to my hearts content and when I want to see them on my G1 phone I just run the My Maps app, including single clicks to Street View etc.
One feature I actually want is 'reply by voice message' like Nokias have. I think it is an under-explored area. I've oft wondered why store-and-forward voice messages aren't more widespread. Scroll to a contact, click 'send voice msg' say what you want, hit send.
There are various Delicious apps. The beelicious app works pretty well, but it lacks the ability to view bundles (which is only a problem if you depend on them).
