If you are using Eclipse IDE then have a look here http://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/39972

There's also information on the Android Developer site developer . android .com/guide/developing/device.html

Hook up your SmartPhone through USB-cable and set your phone i debug mode found in Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging. Next - run your project in eclipse and chose your device.

There are multiple ways:

1. If you don't use eclipse, you can use adb tool. adb -d install PATH_TO_YOUR_APK_FILE
2. If you use eclipse, you can click run application in eclipse's launch menu. If this doesn't work, make sure you have "USB Debugging Mode" checked on your android phone. It's in the application menu.
3. You can export your package and sign it! And then browse to it to install.

I just copy the APK for my project out of the /workspace/project/bin folder, and use Dropbox to sync it to my Droid. Then I install the APK from Dropbox client on Droid. (No need for cables!)
