What's in a Name - Ipad and Enero 6 Corp

Yes, we called it - iPad it is.  (Quickly pats himself on the back and gets back to work...)  And thanks to everyone who voted in our tablet naming poll - over 1600 votes! And because we have smart readers, iPad won in a landslide with 45% of the vote.

As you recall, the Jesus Tablet was the first to report that Apple had trademarked the iPad name, and that it will be in talks with Fujitsu (who had previously filed for the name) and the US Patent and Trademark office over who owns the name.  We are sure it won't slow Apple down and it will get settled quickly.

The domain name iPad.com is another story however.  As we reported, it belongs to a company called Enero 6, and you can bet they are getting loads of traffic today.  Our guess is that they are in talks with Apple over acquiring the domain name.  Either that or they are in an office with their lawyer today trying to figure out how to protect themselves from the coming onslaught of Apple's team of attorneys.

Further research reveals that the domain name did not actually change hands last year, but was placed into the name of a newly formed company called Enero 6 based in New York.  The company's administrative contact listed in the whois database, is the same as the previous individual owner of the domain, and is the name of the sole owner of Enero 6 Corp.

For goodwill or just good public relations, we like the fact that today, the person behind Enero 6 placed links to cancer charities on the bottom of the homepage.  Whatever the reason, we like the sentiment and hope it does some good.

Did Enero 6 just win the lottery, or are they asking for big time trouble?
