I'm no trademark lawyer, but can you really call a product SUN? I think that one's already been trademarked in the computer/electronics market. http://www.sun.com/suntrademarks/index.jsp
There's at about 45 live trademarks on the name sun - most of them not owned by our favorite microsystems. Trademarks are more narrowly defined than "computer/electronics" - and calling a product 'sun' doesn't seem to infringe on the might microsystems.
