   Interesting.  Possibly you could use the same "application specific   
   password" for all your gmail applications on all your computers.  I had   
   assumed that google in some way hashed some characteristic of each   
   computer into the password, and maybe some characteristic of each   
   application, but apparently not.   
      
   If so, this makes using google's not very application specific passwords   
   more tractable.  This would still address what appears to be google's   
   main concern, which is people re-using passwords on other (non-google)   
   sites.
