People either love it, or hate it. Personally I like it, but many people think it is spammy. It got very cheap and it is widely used for search engine spam pages.
My assumption is not that many people are fond of .info's. Like the other guy said, either a person will like them or hate them. Personally I don't mind them.
(You can get .info's at mydomain.com for $1.20USD)
if you are looking for name to develop a brand then .info not for you better take a .com. IF you are gonna make a information site like about homeloans, travel ,mobile phones etc then they are good.
