The site look has now been streamlined to load much faster...

Isn't that name awful close to the other one? i.e. pocketgear? Can't imagine they are going to be to pleased.

That was probably done intentionally.

Uh-huh, and it will likely be contested, whether accidental, or intentional.

The fact is... we've owned and oporated www.pocketpcgear.com since before www.pocketgear.com existed. If anyone has a right to use and market the name, it should be us.

Question: Why did it take over 5 years before you decided to open your "new store"?

[Sven]

Well, evidently you registered the name first. I'd say you would need a pretty good lawyer though if you are just now starting to do something with it and Pocketgear wants to make something of it. Good luck. After all Mike Rowe had his name before MS was established. He still wasn't allowed to market under the name MikeRoweSoft.

I'd been using it to sell my own PPC products before that... just now opened the store. So, it has been in use since I bought it... just not for a full store.
