Short, flashy, nonsense domains having value added?

[Redshft]

With the growing popularity of iPhone/iTouch apps, now with tens of thousands available applications, I am noticing a lot of them with names that make absolutely no sense, but are short and catchy. For instance, some of the more popular and successful ones include:

Vlingo
Midomi
ShoZu
IzyMail

With nearly every application being supplemented by a website, it seems that one reason these names may be being used is because the domain is readily available, cause they sure as hell aren't easy to remember.
