    "A legal source told Reuters on Monday that Google was trying to buy the Internet domain name www.gmail.cn, which is run by Beijing-based ISM Technologies.

    The name closely resembles Google's internationally known email service, www.gmail.com, and the colours in which the two logos are written are similar. The ".cn" suffix is commonly used for Chinese domain names.

    How much do you think they will offer for this domain?

    I guess there are no legal infractions since it's a .cn?

    I wish I had a domain that Google wanted.

    Ya probably will get rich in one day then... that is the nice thing about people who work with domains. All they do is sit on the domains and wait till someone buys them. :)

    Well they managed to get their hands on gmail.co.uk in the end ... so I'm sure they'll pick .cn

    They're aiming for bigger markets than gmail.pl, I think. gmail.co.uk and .cn are big, I don't think they're willing to lose this one.
