I don't think I received any desktop software at all, though it did come with a USB cable. I haven't actually hooked it up to a computer, so I don't know what it does. (To be fair, I have seldom ever hooked a smartphone or PDA up to a computer. I'd far rather it be standalone and sync over the network in the background. So there might be desktop software that I just don't know about.)

What I was implying about the magic incantation was that there's no reason that there's no reason there couldn't be an Android application that did it for you.

Of course, the problem is that there's then no reason for people to not just download it directly using the phone, which is what I did.
