They have done it yet again! Google has played prank on April Fools day by introducing Gmail Tap - reinvented keyboard with just two buttons. The conventional QWERTY keyboard has 26 buttons and we need to look upon the alphabets to type if we are new to the layout but Gmail Tap has just two buttons and by using various combinations of these two buttons, different alphabets can be typed into it. Do not get shocked by this invention, its Prank! There is no such device or application that makes typing so easy and it is actually a prank played on April Fool’s day.

Here’s the list of features they have given on their Gmail tap page:
