Let the domain squatting begin. =P

Honestly though, at least its a $100 to register. At that price hopefully it will deter a lot of squatters from buying up all the domains. "For GBP 60 (approx US$ 100) for year one and GBP 30 (approx US$ 50) per year thereafter." (http://www.nic.io/)

General question about anyones experience with domains that done end in .com

How hard coded is the .com extensions when it comes to the general public these days (your mom/uncle who just uses the internet to read email, if that much)? If you told someone your domain was foobar.io and you ask them to repeat the domain would they say foobario.com?

Some people still do, yes. I usually avoid giving them verbally to anyone non-technical. Giving them in writing is never a problem.

What registrars sell .IO domains?

http://www.nic.io/new.html

Hmm; they list Gandi as one of their registrars, but no .IO domains are shown in Gandi-originated searches. (Opening another $40/year account with a new, unfamiliar registry increases the effective cost of these domains significantly.)
