Chrome to Phone - Cool Magic

Here is a great app, Google Chrome to Phone. This app very simply lets you take almost anything from your Chrome browser and send it instantly to your Android phone. First you need to install the app in your Chrome browser (PC or Mac) AND on your Android phone. If you don't have an Android phone and don't use Chrome, you can stop reading here.

Once installed, Chrome to Phone puts an icon in your Chrome browser that teleports information from your browser to your phone. Example, you see a web page you want to take with you on your phone, click Chrome to Phone and it appears in your phone's browser instantly. So let's expand on the types of "information" that you might want to send to your phone. Maps let you get directions as you head out the door. When you highlight and send Phone numbers, they appear in your phone's dialer. Basic web sites suddenly open on your phone. Even if you just highlight text in a browser window and click the Chrome to Phone icon, it gets sent to the clipboard on your phone, then you can paste it into an app or an email.

Here's a quick video.
