“Send this to my real computer”

Conversion rates on mobile aren’t very good, at least in part (I suspect) because nobody wants to fill out a form with one of those silly keyboards on a smart phone. Especially if you have autocorrect! Argh.

However, a lot of people like to shop on their mobile device. They may be at a store, or maybe they’re having coffee with a friend and somebody recommends a product. They look it up on their smartphone, but then … the form! Oh no!

Amazon has this down. It’s one click and you’re done. So one possible solution for m-commerce is to use Amazon payments.

But there are other times when you have to fill out a form or do something that requires a real keyboard on a real computer.

I think there’s a need for a browser plug-in that allows people to send things from one device to another, so if I’m on my smartphone and don’t want to deal with the horrible form, I can send it to my desktop where I have a real keyboard. The plug-in would be like foxmarks, or some other bookmark managing plug-in, but it would have to deal with other variables.
