    Wow, looks like Apple's naming conventions are catching on!

    I guess the only significant difference is the new gadget wizard.

    Not a chance. It's not trademarked, and they work too closely with Google

    I highly doubt the any letter can be trademarked. In a matter of fact it can't be trademarked.

    this iShit is getting lame.

    Just noticed it on my Google account and was very dissapointed. It's so unoriginal, unless this is a hint at things to come.

    Look out Microsoft if G & A decide to do a merger

    It just looks like old-school Yahoo. I like google because it's just a logo, a text box, and two buttons. I don't like all the extras. That's why I've always had Google as my default homepage....simplicity. Just my 2 cents...

    google needs to implement iGoogle as the "start" page for domains.
