I have had a long held belief that any domain that has keyword rich names will always be superior to any other.
The following links give an insight as to what the future brings:

The point domainers should grasp is that the search engine and Google will become king and the address bar will become obsolete. If your domain name starts with the searchers keywords you will be on the right track. The important thing to remember is that an EXACT MATCH will not be so important.
An example of this trend is to type a search queary such as travel insurance with Google. By the time you have typed in TRAV google presents you with travel insurance in its drop menu, as this is what you are searching for you click on it and start looking at travel insurance sites.
If you have a domain specifically catering for travel insurance a domian name that will bring the required search results would be www.trav.com.au
People will increasingly use search engines as the preferred method for searching for sites.
Mobile phone users and manufacturers (the internets future) do not want address bars as it takes up to much real estate.
Partial match domain names will offer oportunities for domainers who can grasp this future trend
After 18 years as an internet user I have only just realised what the F11 key does.
