Actually, AFAIK iOS doesn't do what he was showing. He was showing a feature called Chrome To Phone (it may have been renamed since I last used it). It would allow you to highlight something on your desktop in Chrome... a URL, an address, a phone number, etc... and send it to the Android device, which would act on it appropriately. I didn't use it much because it often took as long for it to show up as it took to manually enter it, but that may have improved since.

Not quite as easily as on Android. On Android all you need is a web browser, nothing like iTunes as a middleman. You can't even shop the iTunes store in a browser, it always insists on going to the iTunes app. If I'm on somebody else's computer (say work) I don't want to be tied to iTunes. I usually end up searching on the computer, then open the app store on my phone in these cases.
