0. phoneArena posted on 01 Apr 2012, 11:36

Google has really outdone itself with this year's crop of April Fools pranks. We already showed you the cream of the crop with 8-bit Google Maps, but Google also has a good one specifically for mobile with Gmail Tap...

Translation: THIS IS GREAT. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER TO USE MORSE CODE. NO LONGER WILL I HAVE TO WASTE TIME LOOKING FOR THE LETTER ON A KEYBOARD. I CAN NOW SIMPLY PUSH ONE OF TWO BUTTONS. JUST THINK HOW MUCH FASTER CHAT WILL BECOME. THANKS GOOGLE.

And it would be soooo much easier for computers to process - Morse code is binary (dot and dash). Just think of how fast even the slowest handset would be running Morse.....

Now Apple, that is true innovation...

11. nnaatthhaannx2 posted on 01 Apr 2012, 12:57

That made me laugh

8. frydaexiii posted on 01 Apr 2012, 12:41

Haha, I can actually see this happening lol. Apple should totally grow a sense of humor like these guys

Damn... Google is on a roll this April 1st.
I cant decide if I like Google Maps 8-bit for the NES or this Gmail Tap more. The day's not even over yet. I wonder if there will be anything else?

Could we perhaps have a poll about which product we like more? :-D

next, apple releases iDot in iOS6 with the follow up in iOS7.. iDash, and then promptly sues google saying that iDot was in development first, and thus, they invented it.

Droid X Doug - Binary system is 1010101010101010101, not dot and dashes!
