Google Chrome To Phone available for Android 2.2
I blogged about the Chrome To Phone browser extension back in May (http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/google-chrome-phone): the utility that enables you to send web links, map directions and text in general from the Chrome web browser on the desktop directly to your smartphone running Android 2.2 (Froyo) over the air.
I used the Android emulator to create the original article, but Google have now released Chrome To Phone for Android 2.2 devices officially.
Simply download the extension and install it into the Chrome web browser (http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/downloads), giving you a "send to phone" button:
Then download and install the client application from the Market:

Then simply sign into the service on both the desktop and the device using the same account details, and you're ready to start sending information to your phone!
You can specify on the device whether links should be opened automatically, or should be displayed as a notification:
The below video provides a demonstration of the service in action:
