Greetings everyone, just thought i'd share this useful tip with you all that I just found out.

I download a lot of .rar files, and it sucks that android doesn't have a winrar like program yet, so what you would normally do is decompress the file on your computer and then transfer if to your device right?

Well try this out, download any .rar file you want from the internet to your G1, open up opera browser and point it at [Only registered and activated users can see links]

Upload the .rar and click the button

It will upload it to the site and then decompress it for you, then you can download the decompressed file and voila, bobs your uncle, your shiny file is ready for use.

What do you think?

Androzip open the rar file extensions too. Now why because its easier with some programs we use to extract program to zip or rar also saves space when compressed. Rar has a greater compression ratio on apk files
