In
an April Fool gag most greatly appreciated by hams, Google on April 1 announced
the introduction of "Gmail Tap," a combination of hardware and
software to enable people to send e-mail messages via Morse code. The system
would use special smartphones in which the usual keypad is replaced by two
buttons … one for a dot, the other for a dash. No word, however, on whether you'd
be able to plug in your paddles to send faster!
