About Googlegear

Googlegear ( http://www.googlegear.com ) was founded in May of 1999 in Newark, California, under the name XtraPlus.com. Its mission was to provide computer components and peripherals to the consumer at outstanding prices and with paramount customer service. Because of overwhelming requests to expand its selection of products while maintaining its stringent standards, the company has since expanded its line. To cater to this broader offering, it relaunched as Googlegear in January 2000. The term "google" is a slang for the mathematical term representing 10 to the hundredth power (a number that never seems to end). The new name reflects the company's commitment to present a never-ending line of products to its customers, all at extremely competitive prices. Even with an average growth of more than 150% per month, the company still maintains its founding pledge to customer satisfaction and the delivery of a rewarding shopping experience.
