Site to Phone only sends links from desktop to phone. What makes Push Browser different from other solutions is that it also send links from iOS to Chrome by pushing data to the browser using Comet.
I think sjs382 is looking for a system that can send to both Android and iOS devices with one click. If Push Browser added Android support, it would fit that bill.
Chrome To Phone actually does a little more than just shunt links between the two devices: it actually dispatches to an appropriate application based on the content you send.
For instance, highlighting a phone number opens the dialer with it pre-filled. Manually modified routes on Google Maps are preserved when being sent, and also open in the native Maps application. YouTube links open in the YouTube app. Selected text gets sent to the device's clipboard.
It's pretty fantastic. Hopefully Push Browser can grow those features as well.

It's not the most beautiful thing, but it works everywhere!

Interesting that your original post[2] announcing the launch wasn't as well received as this secondary source/blogpost ...possibly timing of the post?
