image thumb21 Gmail Users Can Now Have Shortcuts On Fingertips with Gboard

It is really difficult to get along with using those shortcut, it is primarily to do with learning those keys and memorizing them. Well that is to change for Gmail as Gboard brings all those shortcuts on a keyboard. The device looks neat, very useful and its priced at $19.99, something a power Gmail user would love to have to avoid the mouse or bad memory slowing him down.

The device like many other peripherals plugs into the USB port and is supported on both the Windows and Mac. The shortcuts can be enabled by moving over to the settings page on your Gmail and enabling keyboard shortcuts. With shortcuts to 19 major functions on your Gmail, the device helps you do a lot more and a whole lot quicker making you look like some Gmail Guru who is rarely seen touching the mouse [that would make me feel elated].

image thumb4 And soon you all will have Ball to play with!

I wonder why I almost forgot about it? The Balls that we all might have in the coming week to play with! Oh yes, Blobo Balls. Wait up, I am not a pervert, I am talking about this new device that I chanced upon to view during the MindTrek conference, thanks to FinnFacts. Blobo works with any device that is bluetooth enabled and detects motion, tapping and reactions and translates them on the screen as movements and gestures. I got to play with the device at Demola too and it is one great piece of innovation. Plus the device is going to be quite cheap perhaps around the 15 to 20 Euro range along with half dozen games inclusive in the package.

You can also view the videos of the device in motion from Lydia and Robin.
