The QWERTY keyboard was invented in 1874 and yet it is still used today, largely unchanged. Today we're excited to introduce a new input method designed for the future: Gmail Tap for Android and iOS. Watch the video for an overview:
Gmail Tap takes the keyboard from 26 keys to just two. Every letter of the alphabet is represented by a simple pattern of dots and dashes, and once you know them you can type without even looking at your screen. This makes it ideal for situations where you need to discreetly send emails, such as when you're on a date or in a meeting with your boss.

We're also introducing a new mode, multi-email. Double your productivity by typing multiple emails at once:

I love Google during April Fools, for them it's a day that keeps on giving. They have so many jokes going on at once and they're all still classy and original; unlike most sites which resort to memes.

When you download the app, slide to the 'Expert Mode' page that has the double email typing. [highlight]App spoiler:[/highlight] [sp]Both the top and bottom have messages that type themselves out, all you have to do is press the dot and dash buttons repeatedly[/sp]

My god
The buttons look like a winking face.
Is it bad that I want this as a keyboard alternative? I think it'd be fun to dick around with.
