Mobile phones are handy for scribbling down notes on the go. But the trouble is when you want those notes on your computer so that you can merge the notes to an existing document or continue editing the notes with a bigger screen and keyboard.
I use AK Notepad on my Android G1 phone for taking notes. Whenever I need a note from my phone on my computer, I choose the option to send the note by email. That opens Gmail's mail compose interface with the note's contents. I save it as a draft and force an email sync (by choosing Menu > Refresh). Now, Gmail in my computer browser has the note as a draft. I can now copy the note text and discard the draft.
Opening Long URLs
Let's say you are viewing a web page that has a long URL on Firefox on your computer, and you want to open the same page on your mobile phone. Mobile Barcoder Firefox extension creates a 2D barcode (known as QR code) for the current URL. You can use an application like Google's ZXing to scan the barcode from the computer screen and open the URL on your phone's browser.
