#3Awesome. Morse code for your Android. Ship-to-shore coming soon! I think someone hit the publish button on the April Fools content early.

#4April Fools. But oddly enough I like the idea - and its not ridiculous like yesteryears'. The technology sure exists.

#5I put the app we used in the video up on Play Market: http://goo.gl/IZN16
It's a real Android input manager, you can use it (more or less) as a real keyboard :)
The code will be open-sourced here: https://code.google.com/p/morse-keyboard/

Agreed, what a perfect April's joke prelude.
(unrelated, but still interesting: I guess the guy with the mustache looks kind of familiar, too...)

#7Why three buttons? Morse code only needs one (as is obvious from any telegraph key)—short press for dot, long press for dash, short pause for intercharacter gap, long pause for interword gap. Then you could type at least eight messages concurrently.

#9Morse code? I think it's way easier to excuse yourself from the table tho.
