Agree on the accuracy issue, tried 3 different domains, all showed as available and none were.
I have used instantdomainsearch.com in the past with some success for tld's, roughly similar idea but has been around for a long time.
Me too.
Just to test it out, I entered in my name (zain). It suggested http://za.in/ and said it was available. I was ecstatic!
But, sadly, no, it was wrong. "whois za.in" says NOT FOUND, but I can't find a single .in registrar who says it is available. Bummer.
I also used to think along this lines. But then i tried to remember when was it last that i had physically entered a domain name in the browser - rarely i do that! Mostly i get it from bookmarks or through web surfing links. So i feel the names are less important than the content at that name.
But personally i like "neat and clean" (i.e. dotless) names vs those force-segmented ones. Also dotless names have the advantage of browsers filling in for the www and .com !

I found http://wh.at is available, to register from GoDaddy - that says it's an invalid domain name. :(
Edit: also, this tool isn't very accurate, it reports lots of domains as available when they really aren't.
