Handoff
Handoff simplifies sending things from your computer's web browser to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. It supports all sorts of content that you might want to take with you including web pages, maps, and phone numbers. Handoff sends a push notification to make getting to the content on your device easy.
Handoff works by using a web service to connect your desktop browser to your iOS device. Once you have the app installed, all you need to do is download a browser extension or bookmarklet from http://www.handoffapp.com to get started.
Features:
* Send the current page in your browser to your phone with a single click.
* Supports multiple devices. You can handoff to your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or all of the above.
* Built in map support that supports opening maps in the iOS maps app for easy navigation to your destination.
* Push notifications notify you when your device has a new link handed off and allow you to easily access new links.
* Send selected text from a page to your device and easily copy it to your clipboard.
* Select a phone number and send it to your iPhone for easy dialing.
* Keeps a list of items to easily navigate back to older items.
* Share your links with many other apps, including Pastebot and Instapaper.
* Configure Handoff to open other apps when receiving a push or viewing items. Supported apps include Safari (and some other web browsers), YouTube, Maps, iTunes, App Store, Articles (for Wikipedia), IMDB, Yelp, and Twitter. (new in 1.1)

More apps and web browsers will be supported in the future based on demand and our ability to communicate with those apps (for example, some alternative web browsers don't provide a URL handler for us to use to send pages to them).
