My phone is registered using a custom domain, but I switched the account to a GMail address and ensured I was signed in using a standard Google account when installing the extension. Perhaps it's an issue with phones tied to GAFYD accounts. Is yours?
Now that it's working, it's pretty fast and effective; I look forward to seeing what else can be done with it. For example, it could be very handy for trip planning and so forth.
yeah, thanks, but no. having things sent from the network launching on my phone seems not worth avoiding the work of touching the screen.
but I will try it and see for myself.
This gives us something really similar on Android phones. It's not really just about getting something to open in your browser. You'll eventually see this deeply integrated into actual apps, and that's really cool.
Maps : I already do that with Google's My Maps Editor and any Google Maps compatible browser. I sit at my desk and update pins to my hearts content and when I want to see them on my G1 phone I just run the My Maps app, including single clicks to Street View etc.
One feature I actually want is 'reply by voice message' like Nokias have. I think it is an under-explored area. I've oft wondered why store-and-forward voice messages aren't more widespread. Scroll to a contact, click 'send voice msg' say what you want, hit send.
