Wouldn't calling your company "Andromium" infringe on two trademarks simultaneously?

Shouldn't - to be infringing it has to be in the same industry (check), and substantially similar in sound, graphic design or spelling to the point that it would confuse the proverbial "average person". Is "Andromium" and more confusing than "Andromeda" to someone who wants to buy an Android phone?

It does reminds me of the el-cheapo Panashiba stereo I had as a student, though.

I think OC meant "android + chromium".

yes. Is anyone who wants to buy an "android" and a "chromium" be confused by andromium? That's the question for establishing trademark infringement.

And I mentioned my Panashiba stereo because it was an obvious mix of Panasonic and Toshiba, but was not a trademark infringement of either.
