First, the app doesn't show you a condensed list of friends who have a Pushbullet account, which would be helpful so that I can see who's already using the service. If they do not already have Pushbullet, they'll get an email inviting them to join. Just pick something you want to send, and in the field where you choose where to push your item, select 'Add a friend.' The app pulls in all of your contacts that are synced with your phone. You can add friends from either the Web site or app, but it's easier to do in the app.

You can even push items to the Android devices of your friends (so long as the you have the email address they signed up with) and vice versa. For now, file size is limited to 25MB, a step up from the earlier 10MB limit. That's because neither of those options automatically saves the file. This makes Pushbullet a more convenient option for transferring files than sending an email attachment or using Dropbox. It's important to note that files are, once pushed from your desktop, automatically downloaded onto your mobile device. For instance, an image opens in the Gallery app, while PDFs might open in Adobe Reader, if you have it installed.

Finally, files that are pushed to your phone open up in the appropriate app for that particular file type. If you tap a note or list notification, those items will open in the app, while pushed links open in your phone's default browser and addresses open in a map app. When Pushbullet pushes an item to a mobile device, it generates a notification in the notification bar.

For files and photos, the app will ask you to grab a file from an app, such as the photo gallery or your file manager, you want to grab the attachment. Just like on the Web site, you can type in (or copy and paste) notes, lists, and links. Just tap the tiny bullet icon at the top-right of the app and select what kind of item you want to push and where. You can also use the Android app to push files, notes, and other items to other Android devices or your computer.
