A Stocking Stuffer For Gmail Users: The Gboard Keypad (via Mashable)

If years of electronic medical record use has taught me anything, it's that 1-click for any repetitive task is THE Holy Grail of efficiency.

This dedicated keypad does exactly that, for the most common Gmail functions (like Search, Star, Reply, Reply All, Forward, Archive, etc).

Not bad for $19.99.

Jeepers creepers. Stuff like this is why I'm using Posterous more than Tumblr (that, and you have posting control to other sites if you post to Posterous, only, then Edit from Posterous).
