Install or Not: AirDroid

Sometimes it becomes difficult to handle two different devices at the same time. What if you could manage your Android device from your PC. That’s right, Airdroid lets you manage your Android device via your favorite web browser. This application lets you manage your Android phone over WiFi without the hassle of using wires.
Here are some of its cool features:

• Files
  Transfer files between Android devices and computers with drag & drop support.
• SMS
  Receive, send, forward or delete SMS messages directly from the web browser.
• Apps
  Install, uninstall, backup, search apps and do batch processing.

• Clipboard
  Share clipboard text between desktop and device.
• Contacts
  Group, search, create contacts, check and delete call logs.
• Music
  Play, search, upload, download, delete the audio content on your phone or set as phone call notification and alarm ringtones.
• Realtime Android screen (PS: this is an experimental feature, root permission required)
  View your Android’s screen, take a screen-shot, or even record a screen-cast.
• Video (Quick Time plug-in required)

Airdroid works perfectly on devices running v2.1+ though it requires JavaScript to be enabled for the web browser. Chrome 12 or later, Firefox 3.6 or later, Safari 5.0 or later will serve the purpose (For best performance IE is not recommended). The app is free for download from the Google Play Store.
