Google Search: Discovered Evidence of Device Cross-Share Function with Push Bullet

After Google last week, version 3.6.13 of the search app for Android has released, the guys from Android Police have looked at in more detail the application and made an interesting discovery: Apparently Google is working on a competition for Push Bullet. With the new feature, for example, text should be easy to send as a notification from the computer onto the phone. 

Tastes are obviously differ, in terms of apps. Push Bullet however, is without doubt one of the small number of must-have apps. The application adds Android and Chrome so many useful features that many observers speculated on a takeover startup with Google for quite some time. That this has not yet happened, could possibly have a good reason: Google apparently working on its own solution à la Push Bullet. 

The evidence can be found, as so often, buried deep in the assets of already available applications. In version 3.6.13 of Google Search, which was released last week, can find four interesting snippet: 

<string name = "phonelink_note_sent_from_computer"> Sent from PC. </ string> 

<string name = "phonelink_note_save"> Save </ string> 

<string name = "phonelink_note_copy"> Copy </ string> 

<string name = "phonelink_note_copied"> Text copied </ string> 

A brief statement on this: In the future, therefore it should be possible to send text directly from the computer to the smartphone. Achieved the notification the mobile companion, the user is informed about their origin and then has the opportunity to copy the text to the or to save. While saving the text user can chose which app he wants to use this, then. To visually represent the better, Android Police has taken the assets and created from it a sample app. 

A sent from computer text wanders in form of a normal notification on your smartphone and can be copied or saved to the clipboard:

If you want to save the text, you get a choice between several compatible applications:

Much to Google's Push Bullet alternative is currently still in the dark: If you just about can send text or links, images and other files? It remains only for text, Bullet Push Google solution is still miles ahead. How will Google implement the function on the PC? Here, of course, Chrome would offer integrated either as an extension or directly in the browser.

Interestingly, the feature also fits the new "Warp" function, which has made headlines at the weekend and the one probably soon among other YouTube videos with other smart phones in the vicinity will be able to share - even without an Internet connection. New possibilities for sharing content and data currently appear to be on Google's own to-do list probably at the top. 

What do you say? Would you an integrated solution within Androids / Chrome prefer? Or do you prefer to stay at Push Bullet?
