    This one is free and fantastic. Connects both ways, via multiple methods. Does several things. I use it to consolidate and easily organize Android phone info like contacts, etc. It is also the best way to back up your phone to your PC. I also use it to organize the install files of apps. I don’t use it that way, but it can do what I understand this article to be about as well.

    Interesting. But, if it exists, I’d much rather have that functionality via USB.

    Why? Better privacy and the ability to copy/synchronize things both ways without fuss.
