I just got an android phone recently so I could do phone Hits and swagbucks TV with the sbtv app. I had been using email to pass info to the phone from desktop but there is a slightly cleaner way with QR codes. a special type of bar code you have probably seen before. you can also pass text as well as URL's. here is a local offline page that uses pure javascript to generate the QR code. http://code.google.com/p/jsqrencode/downloads/list download their latest html page somewhere and make a bookmark, enter some text and hit the button. you have to do a screencapture to save the image if you need that. you can get a QR reader for your phone, any of them will work. some of the new phones have the QR reader builtin already. just hold the phone steady with the image in view and you should see the info and have the option to copy or goto a url now. you can also create a QR code image using google chart api with a URL tacked on to the end. if you are online and just need the URL (from a lifehacker post) it wouldn't take much to turn it into a bookmarklet to prompt for the URL https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=http://www.lifehacker.com my swagbucks referrer as a QR code
if you need to send more than a few words or URL, probably most people are using some cloud service for transferring files screenshot images or other media googledrive, onedrive or dropbox and many others. another good option for transferring with ftp program or from browser swiftp ftp server for android install & run the apk, it sets up username password and gives you the address to use. works on existing network, wifi or internet connection. http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/FTP/SwiFTP-79201.shtml http://code.google.com/p/swiftp/downloads/list *probably unwise to leave it running all the time ** have to enable install from file in settings, then google will offer to check & install *** standard data rates may apply here. someone else will have to comment if ftp would be easier or faster than a cloud server app with a voice or snapshot hit. I usually don't qualify with an android4.0 phone with limited data and slow connection they rarely pay well enough anyway.
