By Boris | April 20, 2011
Cellphone industry has totally revolutionized with the inclusion of Smartphones and these last 2 years in the mobile phones realm were all about Smartphones. With the likes of Apple and search giant Google jumping into the market, the final eventuality has totally changed ; users now go for feature heavy phones that can carry out multitude of jobs including sending e-mail, capture HD videos, location based tracking, social networking and many more. We have seen Google’s Android platform taking over the market and slowly and steadily becoming the choice of tech savvy users.
Android according to a recent survey released by Nielsen is catching up fast with the industry phenomenons like Research In Motion Blackberry and Apple’s iPhone. One of the landmark things that Android has achieved is variety in the choice of the phone, means the users can choose from heaps of mobile handsets being introduced into the market like Samsung, LG and HTC.
Well for many users, cellphone with huge screen size and being touch enabled is a great treat as compared to the older generation of mobile telephones. But occasionally folks desire that their cellphone should integrate with their PC, especially when you’re in a class or in an official environment and you’ve got your laptop with you. Do you want to send texts fast from your laptop? Nokia devices ( Symbian ) have been supporting this feature from quite a time now but Android was lacking this feature. Below are a selection of the top applications essentially cross platform enabled that enable users to blend their cellphone and their PC over a WiFi connection.
Droid2Desk
Droid2Desk is the first application in this regard that is pretty electrifying and enables this cross platform thing with perfection. The application is written totally in Java so it is very much independent of cross platform. The application Droid2Desk will work with nearly all the Android versions from Android 2.0, and it is going to support all the telephones powered by Android 2.2 and conversantly is also compatible with a standard PC.
Using Droid2Desk, users can view their awaiting notifications, can view their battery status, send or receive any amount of SMS, and using this application, users can send files either from PC to mobile or the other way around. Moreover, users can also snap photos using their Android phone from their PC. Video feed in addition has been integrated but the quality doesn’t get so smooth.
The must haves are that Java should be installed and a Wi-Fi connection should be successfully running for the connection between Personal computer and handset. The application is meant to be installed on both the Personal computer and the Android powered phone. To set it up, you want to first install the most recent APK file on your PC and then transfer it. Now user has to open it, tap the screen on the service highlight to add a username and a consolidated password.
To run Droid2Desk on the Personal computer, user will have to download and unzip the software executable file. For more advanced instruction, you can also visit the official website for a meticulous help in the event of any problem.
Texdro
This application is also somewhat alike to Droid2Desk; Java is needed to be pre-installed to run Texdro and it can be simply downloaded from Java website. The extraordinary thing about this application is that it can run on any type of platform that accommodates support for Java. For a mere price tag of $2.99, the professional version allows the connection over USB or Bluetooth as well . But the free version is also rather good with some impeding limitations. The PC can be attached to the web through a Neighborhood connection but for the connection with Telephone Wi-Fi is a complete must.
Though, it isn’t as supportive as Droid2Desk but it may be employed to import contacts and send SMS messages also. Hence Texdro is for the users who want to go for a lighter version and don’t want to interfere with complexities.Well these two programmes will provide you an augmented and a uninterrupted connectivity between Android phones and computers.
