What I'm curious to know is why they changed thier name? Is the orignianal name in conflict with google?

Thier ratings seem half way decent.

I just checked them out through BizRate.com and they seem to have good ratings and pretty decent prices. Too bad they're in CA because so am I and 8.25% sales tax applies if I order through them. Free 2-day shipping is pretty cool, though...

See this...

Doesn't say much. A lot of double-talk about the new name being more closely associated with their new focus. Blah blah blah.

I agree with the comments above. Google probably paid them a bundle for the name.

Doubt if they paid them for the name.. I'd guess sued them for the name. I do believe googlegear.com came in after google did.

It does make people trust them because of the name recognition.
