Dudes, we've known for a while that Android is awesome at syncing to the cloud, and clunky as hell when trying to move files from your computer to your phone. That process just got quite a bit easier with Awesome Drop. The premise is simple - sync the app with the website via a PIN, drag files from your computer into the website's dropbox, and they appear on your phone. Awesome indeed, and demonstrated well with some smooth bossa nova via this video from the website:
There are some downsides: you need a browser that can handle HTML5, for starters - so only Chrome, Firefox 3.6 or Safari 5 (IE9 should work too, whenever it comes out). The files are listed in the app while the session is connected to the website, but once you break that connection, they can only be found in your SD card's "root\Drop" folder, so you'll probably need a file manager like Astro to view to them later. Finally, I've heard that the app doesn't play nice with different folders, so everything's going to get dumped to that one directory. Still, this is an elegant solution for those of use too lazy to dig up the USB cable when we need to move a quick picture or mp3.
