Android App Spotlight #12: Fast Web Installer

Price: Free
AppBrain Link

I've already lauded the benefits of using AppBrain over the stock Android Market, but it was a bit inconvenient to have to open the app and sync your installs to the server every time you wanted to install something. The folks at AppBrain have solved this problem with their Fast Web Installer. Once installed, whenever you click "install" on an app while browsing AppBrain's site, the app automatically starts downloading and installing on your phone. It works nearly flawlessly, though you still have to manually install paid apps. And to think, iPhone users have to connect their phones to the computer whenever they want to install apps!
