Although I hadn’t expected to have an issue with TouchNote.com, they evidently didn’t like my use of the word “TouchNote” (despite using it for a completely different purpose on a platform they don’t appear to have any interest in) and rather than ask nicely had their lawyers threaten me with a trademark lawsuit.

Thanks, guys. It’s always a pleasure to interact with people who skip that whole tedious friendly request stage and go straight to threats.

In any case, I don’t have the resources for a legal battle (and would not have used the name in the first place if I thought they’d have a problem with it), so my app is now named TapNote.

The name change is going to take a couple of days to percolate through Palm’s system, but TapNote v1.1 should be in the app catalog probably Friday or Monday, depending on Palm’s turnaround.
