myPhoneDesktop 1.6 - MacStories “2x” Giveaway

myPhoneDesktop is an app for iPhone, iPad and OS X we’ve covered on MacStories a few times in the past. While packed with functionalities, the basic concept of mPD is fairly simple: it provides a way to link your desktop web browser, computer and mobile devices over the air, through the cloud. myPhoneDesktop allows you to easily move data between computers and devices and relies on iOS’ push notification system to let you instantly get the data shared on a Mac or PC.

With this app, you can share text, URLs and images, initiate phone calls and send SMS, send links to alternative browsers for iOS, send content from any webpage to your iPhone and iPad via bookmarklet. It comes with a browser plugin and a desktop app to simplify sharing of data, it’s deeply integrated with several third party iOS apps such as Instapaper, Skype and GoodReader. The latest 1.6 update, though, takes everything a step further: the app can run in the background and receive clipboard data for 10 minutes, it’s got Google Voice integration and the desktop companion can even initiate Google Voice calls and send SMS.

We have 5 copies of myPhoneDesktop 1.6 to give away. Unlike our usual giveaway though, each winner will get 2 promo codes. Jump after the break to check out the giveaway rules, or if you can’t wait – go download mPhoneDeskop here.
