Besides the fact that they're both in German, and I love what little German I tell myself I know, it seems both these services are really powerful. They have a news item announcing that individuals and businesses can register their original names for an @gmail.de account for free. Which, I'm assuming, would normally cost quite a bit. The ruling sounds fair; while both parties seem rightful owners of "Gmail", obviously the real gmail.de seems to have established itself quite well with that domain. <a href="http://gmail.es" rel="nofollow">Gmail.es</a> seems just a placeholder, <a href="http://.gmail.ch/" rel="nofollow">Gmail.ch</a> is a mailportal offering an email address and <a href="http://www.gmail.pt" rel="nofollow">Gmail.pt</a> simply doesn't exist. What surprises me is in how few countries Gmail has conflicts left. Gmail.de reminded me of a GMX.
