ARRL News 4/1/2012

On April 1, Google announced that it has unveiled a new way to 
use its popular Gmail e-mail system. Called Gmail Tap, it uses 
dots and dashes to form letters, a system of communicating that 
should be very familiar to radio amateurs. "Morse code is perfect," 
said Gmail Tap Engineer Mitch Fedenko. "It's just a dot and a 
dash. What's simpler than that?" 
 
According to Google, Gmail Tap will let you tap without looking 
at your screen, replace the 26-key keyboard with two keys and 
double productivity by typing two e-mails at once.
