RE: @gmail is no more!
Something everyone is getting confused on all over the place, and I have pointed out on other forums, is that ALL EXISTING UK USERS will keep the address @GMAIL.COM.

Only new users from now on, within the UK, will be made to use @googlemail.com.

Google would have done checks on trademarks before-hand, like any big company. This one would have missed though. The company claiming rights to it, registered gmail as their trademark AFTER Gmail was announced.

Not sure how it works legally, but I can't see that either side can be given the tardemark. Both would have a good case against the other in this situation.
