While I was surfing the internet today, I noticed that AppBrain updated their website along with their Android App. This update allows users send text, URLs, and wallpapers directly to their phone from their own browser of choice. This is a very hand app when you're lazy like myself and don't feel like typing out a long text message on your phone, while you can just type it on my computer keyboard and it copies to the clipboard for you. As for the newest feature, wallpapers, you enter the URL of the image you want or upload it, and it will be sent to your device and set as the background.

Verizon just released a photo of their soon to come phone, the Droid Pro. With its candybar style and full qwerty keyboard, this phone is a beauty. It is not what many people expected the phone to be like, but hopefully more information will be released later in the week at CTIA. But, having that 1GHz processor under the hood, and a 3.1-inch capacitive touchscreen display is nothing to scoff at.
