Googlemail to become Gmail in UK (Again...)

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 :
Google mail Gmail

"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."
