PocketPC2002.com...going, going, gone!

As some of you know, I registered the domain pocketpc2002.com last year once I found out the name of the product. I knew that Microsoft didn't have a copyright for the term "Pocket PC", so I wasn't in danger of being a domain poacher - and if they had wanted it, they would already own it. :-)
The domain was for sale for around six months before I was contacted by SEDO about selling the domain to an anonymous third party. It took nearly two months to complete the process, but the domain has officially changed hands today. Who was the buyer? ShareIt.com, an online software store. I'm not sure what their plans are for it, but an online Pocket PC software store seems likely. I've now updated my links to reflect the new home for my affiliate links. Thanks for your continued support!
Registering/buying/selling domains is something I dabble in - there's a lot of interesting politics that go on with domain names. Just look at what happened with the smartphone domains!
