I don't think there is. I wish they'd add that ability along with the ability to sync notes to there as well. Considering, both are part of the "Notebook".

Then again, I don't think Chrome even has this ability yet.

The only way I know of so far is to download My Bookmarks from the market and export your google bookmarks then import them using My Bookmarks

If you have a rooted device you can edit the browser.db file...

Quote:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/browser.db "SELECT * FROM bookmarks;"
You will need to write an app who adds/sync's your bookmarks to your device.

Thanks for this! I was wondering where these were stored, and thinking about maybe writing a quick xmarks importer.

Thinking??? You should definitely do that, I would actually pay money for an app that can synchronize my xmarks to my g1

Sycning Google bookmarks with android is possible with http://www.gettransmute.com/android/

As far as syncing xmark(foxmarks) with android there was someone working on some code but he never finished. I think the code is on his site if someone else wants to give it a try.

Yup, that would be a $2.99 app if I ever saw one.

The latest Chrome builds have bookmark sync inbuilt, i bet integrated Android bookmark sync is right around the corner..
Currently they use your Google Account to host a Google Docs document containing the information about your bookmarks.
