AndroidPC: Sync And Control Android Phones From Your Computer

AndroidPC v.2.0 is one of the best mobile managing suits available for phones, enabling the users to quickly connect their phones with the computer, regardless of the operating system, whether it be , or . The user can easily send and receive SMS, calls, get desktop notifications for incoming calls and messages, sync contacts and messages with the computer.

I’ve been hunting for a mobile managing suite since the day I bought an Android powered HTC Wildfire. Mobile managing suits really help to make things more convenient to control your cell phones without having the need to physically touch them. I recently discovered this tiny app called ‘AndroidPC’ that performs much more than it’s size. It allows the users to connect and take control of Android phones with a computer bearing a Mac, Linux or Windows operating system. It is compatible literally with any operating system.
