Far from a surprise and something that’s often done, we’ve noticed that Google has registered a misspelled version of a domain name for the new OpenHandSetAlliance. In other words, no worries if you type the name incorrectly.

On Tuesday, they registered:
+ OpenHanSetAllance.com (notice the missing “D”. Like all of the OpenHandSetAlliance domains it was registrered for one year.

Also on Tuesday, OpenHandSetAlliance.net and .org were transferred to Google name servers after they were first registered (also for one year) on October 10, 2007 and held by what appears to be a domain name holding service.

Btw, in case you are wondering, some typo results with the letter O. These are just a few examples:

+ Gogle is registered to Google Inc. as is Gooogle.com. Both redirect to the Google home page.

+ Yaho and Yahooo are registered and redirect to the Yahoo home page.

+ Microosoft.com and Micrsoft.com are registered to Microsoft and redirect to the MSFT home page.
