"The scary part? I can almost see T-Mobile's point because Yes, Engadget Mobile does use the word "Mobile" and yes, they do use a color very similar to T-Mo's magenta (to color the word Mobile, nonetheless). While I don't think anyone is confused by the difference, I can kinda see T-Mobile's point, in a weird convoluted way. So am I weird? Is this completely frivilous or is there something to see here?

Whether you're weird or not isn't the question.

The question is whether or not you're going to cease and desist your use of the color blue on your main page. The color is VERY similar to that of our corporate logo, and part of our product line includes software that runs on Pocket PCs. CLEARLY, you're in violation. We have been in business for 22 years, with the color blue in continuous use that entire time, so I'm confident we have precident on our side.

You can either shut down your web site immediately, or pay us annual royalties for the use of our color. Otherwise, we're going to say really nasty things about you under our breath, and think really uncharitable thoughts about you.

I expect a response by end of day, or even STRONGER threats will be issued.
