Simple way to send a link from desktop browser to n900 browser? - Page 2 - maemo.org

If you're at your desktop with your N900 sitting beside you, then why not just use X11vnc - copy and paste your links straight in to the N900 browser.

It doesn't get any easier.

Create a Jabber account for each device and configure a client on each, and use that to send around links, texts, etc..

Also useful for sending "TODOs" to your Desktop machine from your mobile phone when you are not at home

You could use http://www.cl1p.net - save your interesting urls in a page in cl1p.net on your desktop, and reopen same page on your n900.

To speed the process there is a bookmarklet. Just open the page

cl1p.net/whatever

(substitute whatever with whatever you want, your name, an acronym... that's going to be your urls page and you'll be able to password-protect it if you need to)

Go to Extras (last button on the left side). You'll get there the link to make a bookmarklet. Put on your favourites bar or in your bookmarks.
Optionally select some text in your page (or not)
Push the bookmarklet, the selected text plus the page url will be copied on your page.

Open it in your n900 browser. Enjoy

What about email, or is that too old school? Twitter is another option.

I can't see it getting easier than that

some things I noticed:
-mbarcode does qrcode out-of-the box. no plugin needed
-in mbarcode you can only select the scanned text by tapping inside the textbox and pressing ctrl+a, you can't select with the stylus

how about pasting the link in a text file and putting that text file in your dropbox?

one ide I have thinking of but never had time to test is using klipper or similar in linux and add a feature sendto n900.

and on the n900 make a simple client that is connectingb to the sendtoserver in linuxdesktop and the automatic forward it to clipboard on n900 that way we could use tandard cut/paste behave.

another solution that someone already said is to use jabber that ay it should be possible to also send specialcommands between desktop and n900
