New Phonetic keyboard in Gmail

Gmail is continuously surprising us with its out of the box features, enormous flexible options and outstanding super-simple user interface. Everyday so many users being fade up with yahoo are going towards gmail. Like Yahoo, Gmail also show ads but they are never that annoying as they’re just simple text ads, no funky flash or image ads, no forcing for being a paid subscriber (Gmail don’t have any paid subscription, it’s totally free! :P). All these simplicities are the main attraction of Gmail which are driving Yahoo users towards it. The recent update in Gmail themes is “Random Themes” option. It’s really boring when you have to read and reply hundreds of emails a day. The “random” gmail theme automatically rotates the eye-catching collection of themes after every 1-2h which makes “gmailing” fun! “Random theme” is my personal favorite.
The free Xoopit plugin added an extra gear to Gmail which is no more as Yahoo bought the service. Here we can feel the acute cold war between Gmail & Yahoo evidently. Yesterday I tried Google Wave and it certainly will re-shape the concept of classical email system.

Gmail Phonetic KeyboardTyping in Gmail's Phonetic Keyboard

This morning I was typing an email on gmail and found a new symbol on top left of the compose box editing panel (Rich formatting mode). I clicked it and saw a drop-down menu with 12 languages options including Bengali, Hindi, Arabic and so on. OMG! it’s phonetic keyboard! I tried some text with it, simply awesome!! I hope gmail will keep going on with its passion for the “ease of use”. Bravo! love you Gmail.

    The funny part is the “invitation”. Few years ago for gmail account this was a requirement. Now playing the same stupid game with this new stuff. Something like Google should quit this rubbish……

    @raihan, Google is still testing Google Wave and you know before going live you must “test” everything. In test phase they only allow 1,00,000 users which is already taken and right now the invitation option is turned off.

    This is not a game. Rather if they would make it open for all, people start using it seriously and accidentally due to any unseen bug you lose your important data that won’t be a “game” to you..

    Hope that makes sense :)

    Thanks
    Adnan
