    How-to: push Chrome / Firefox links to your Android 2.2 Froyo device (video)


    While we absolutely adore our Nexus One -- now that it's got a bellyful of that fabulous frozen yogurt -- one of the most exciting Android additions shown off at Google I/O isn't actually slated for Froyo: the ability to push apps and music over the air from computer to phone. The underlying framework apparently is, though, and thus a bite-sized version of the functionality is already available at Google Code. If you're one of the lucky few running Android 2.2, you can get an extension for Chrome and Firefox web browsers that will let you push URLs, Maps and YouTube video links direct to your device using a Google Account. You can think of it as an early foray into a Continuous Client, perhaps, sharing with yourself before you head to a business meeting. Better yet, share an account with a group of friends and push interesting items to everyone on the go. See how (and see it in action) right after the break.





    1. You've got a phone running Android 2.2, right? Good. Use it to download the Google Chrome to Phone Extension application . Make sure Settings > Applications > Unknown Sources is checked if you're installing over USB, or use Barcode Reader (highly recommended!) to scan that QR code.

    2. Download the latest version of the Chrome to Phone extension from the same page, or get the Firefox version here.

    3. In your web browser of choice, log into your Google Account.

    4. On your phone, start the Chrome to Phone application

    5. In the app, add the Google Account you'd like to share with.

    6. Click on "Register Device" to link your account to the Google Chrome to Phone service.


    Finally, open up that web browser, find something you'd like to share, then click the new icon in the toolbar to beam it to your phone. Now you're cooking with fi--we mean, now you can continue your browsing sessions, share YouTube videos and get those Google Maps into a form factor where they can do some good. It's not like you were going to memorize those directions, right?

    AmpliTube iRig brings axe slingers closer to their iPhone, creative side (video)

    The iPhone Video Converter is a nice movie encoder which supports converting AVI information to iPhone. The avi to psp
    can even put Wmv, Mov, Gif, MPG, Realmedia (RM, RMVB), AVI (Wav, XviD), ASF, Gif in your apple iphone. Oh sure, we've seen something similar from PRS, but the reviews on the Guitarbud were -- how do you say? -- less than stellar. For those looking high and low for a decent alternative, IK Multimedia has outed the equally seductive AmpliTube iRig, a software / hardware tandem that enables axe slingers to jack their guitar or bass into an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and tweak their sound with a variety of amps and effects (up to 10 stomps, 5 amps, 5 cabinets and 2 microphones). The dongle also has a headphone jack for keeping your wailing to yourself (read: it's mom and neighbor approved), and if you're sporting a jailbroken device, you could also record your newest masterpiece while this hums along in the background. It's a beautiful thought, no? It's up for pre-order right now at $39.99, and you can peek a video of the solution in action just after the break.

    iPad taken apart then re-assembled in under four minutes, Harryhausen-style (video)

    We hope you're not sick of seeing the iPad's inner bits, what with the iFixit disassembly, gratuitous Blendtec promo, and even the FCC having some fun. Now TechRestore is getting in on it -- a bit tardily -- by giving the iPad the same stop-motion tear-down treatment that it lovingly applied for a Modbook last year. Not only does the company rip this magical
    tablet down to its constituent parts but it puts it all back
    together again and, while there is neither a kraken released nor
    Medusa slain, the video does feature some rather fanciful
    sound effects for you to enjoy, and it's all after the break.
