"This sounds like more BS, dude. I wonder why can't I find http://googlemail.com? I get a redirect to [gmail's usual page]

Googlemail.com exists and is owned by Google. Now a UK business is calling them up over it.

The Gmail primary domain is mail.google.com, and it's not so much of a big stride to move the name of the service to Google Mail.

The @gmail.com thing, however, would be big.
