Google have released a new app called GMail Tap. Ideal for those with fat fingers and who can send Morse.

No good for me - I was supposed to learn Morse when I was a trainee radio tech. I even went to the Telegraphist's Training School in the the AWA Building at 47 York St.

I never did learn

Oops! Gmail Tap is a bit too popular right now. We suggest you try downloading it again next year.

Still trying to download Gmail Tap? Check back next April 1st to see if it is available...you never know.

You're onto it.

Todd Smith, in that clip, is the actor (formerly rapp singer), L L Cool J. He plays former Navy Seal Sam Hanna in the tv series NCIS: Los Angeles. Something you would probably have realized if you watched a little more telly, Ron.

Oh, this is a repost. There is another thread on it here. Somewhere. From a few years back.
