Googlemail to be known once again as Gmail, at least in the UK. Some 5yr old trademark rant between Google and IIR has come to a end, but no one mentions how. Previously Google said IIRs demands for the "Gmail" name was too much but now its "happily resolved" so I assume they paid up. Google has similer issues in Germany, Poland & Russia and some other places way back. Besides GMail I think sounds faggoty...
Random prob. unofficial logo :
"British e-mail users with Google accounts are now able to change the end of their addresses from @googlemail.com to @gmail.com.A five year trademark dispute meant that Google was not allowed to use the name Gmail in the UK.In 2005 a company called Independent International Investment Research claimed it had used "Gmail" first.Google claimed at the time that the settlement IIR asked for was "exorbitant" and dropped the name."
