Domain name question

Hi Ian,
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Too bad because some of those keywords are getting lots of searches!
Thanks for your input.

"Allowed" is not a good term. Those domains are legal to
own, until someone sues and wins. I don't believe
apple got the owner of ipad.com to sell.

And if you owned oh, say ipad.cn, apple could do
nothing. Or the ubiquitous ipad. t k

Apple does not like people using their trademarks in
domains. But they are not an agency in the United
States with legal power. People sometimes forget
this. Apple thinks they are above the law sometimes.

Those domains are most assuredly not banned on google.
Google is not the internet police either. They do ban
extensions if they are a problem. .t k was a problem
and was banned, I think.

I don't think google would give a hoot about anyone using
android. Google is a company that is very open and
wants the internet open, complete with free and
open platforms. Open source is their motto. Obviously,
they do own android and would balk at anyone starting
a company with a phone product called android. But using
android in a domain to promote something that goes with
their product is something they would not care about. Unless
it gave their product a bad name, of course.

Apple is a different animal and likes to protect what's
theirs. But even they can't do shinola with places like
China.

Would they after a domain held by your client? Maybe.

But just go over to ebay and search for ipad domain
Tons of them for sale. Some are asking for millions.
