This looks to be extremely handy to me as you can now send pages you were looking at on your computer to your phone and continue the browsing session on the go. After installing the extension on your computer and the application on your Android 2.2 device you can simply tap the small phone icon in the top right of your browser and have the web page you are on sent to your Android device. My preferred web browser is Chrome so I was pleased to also hear the news that Chrome to Phone was released with support for Android devices.

If you have an Android 2.2 device, like my EVO 4G you can update the Voice Search client on your device to get these new features. The new Voice Actions and a new Google search widget require Android 2.2 and are preinstalled on the new Droid 2. This new capability is awesome and something that was previously only found in the T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide. Instead of just using Voice Search to find things, you can now control your Android device with voice commands that include the ability to control your music (including support for streaming music applications like Pandora, Last.fm, and Slacker), surf the web, send text messages and emails, create a note for yourself, and control GPS navigation. Google is holding an event at their offices in California and one announcement was for the launch of their new Voice Actions in their Voice Search product.

I haven't found any full reviews yet, but you can see some initial hands-on posts with the Droid 2 here: As a die hard Star Wars fan though, the R2-D2 version of the device may win me over. The Droid 2 can be picked up today and I haven't yet received one to evaluate so I cannot offer my own perspective on the device. Another piece of Android good news happened yesterday when HTC sent out an OTA Android 2.2 update to my Sprint HTC EVO 4G to get me back on track after I manually installed the leaked Froyo update a few days before the official OTA update was released.

Tomorrow will also see the pre-order launch of the Samsung Epic 4G on Sprint.

This would likely appear in future updates.Today is a great day for Google Android fans with the launch of the Droid 2 on Verizon, major upgrade of Google Voice Search, and new Google Chome to phone service. Morgenthaler said Apple did not roll this out initially but Siri was capable of conducting transactions on behalf of the user such as buying a book on Amazon or sending someone flowers. That's fundamentally new and fundamentally different and it is potentially very disruptive to the search industry.' 'Or, better still, if you intend to do something with that information - to make a transaction, say - Siri could take you all the way to that transaction. And therefore it's able to retrieve for you exactly the right information you want. 'Siri, because it has the semantic layer, is not just responding to keywords it's responding to a conceptual understanding of what it is that you said. What you want back is one correct answer,' Morgenthaler told CNET.

'When you search, what you want back is not a million blue links. Gary Morgenthaler, who was on the board at Cohen's previous company, Nuance, and was the first investor in Siri, said Siri was far and away better than other voice recognition systems as it not only had a top speech recognition engine but also 'natural language understanding and various pieces of artifical intelligence that allows it to understand what you meant rather than simply recognise words and convert it into text'.
