Just seen the feature of pushing a page from chrome to Nexus and while it's not implemented very well, the whole idea I think is great.
It would be a major usecase for me if I could send page links between n900 and my PC. n900->PC is actually as important as PC->n900 for me.
I understand there is nothing like C2DM API in Maemo, but I guess something like this is quite easy to implement:
1) Click a button on your PC browser ("send to device") - gets current page's url and stores it somewhere on the web
2) Click a button on n900/launch an app/type something in console to retrieve the stored link and open it
3) Web browser on N900 opens the page you sent from PC
So the hardest thing I see here is to find something that can store a web link and can be easily accessed.
You can always email yourself this link or send it to some fake contact on facebook, but these solutions are not very usable. The better option I see is to find something like tinyurl that allows you to change redirect address of your personal link from a browser's toolbar and just have a bookmark on n900, however, don't know if such service actually exists.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: here's
the solution
I implemented myself
