Gateway, Google Form Start Page Deal

Gateway, Inc. and Google have formed an alliance to put a customized version of the popular Google Personalized Homepage on Gateway and eMachines computers. You can find the respective Gateway and eMachines pages here and here. Google has a similar relationship with Dell. There's a lot of upside here because it's start pages that are going to make RSS feeds mainstream.

Given today's news about more robust versions of Google Docs, could deeper ties with the OEMs be in the works? With Google CEO Eric Schmidt is on the board of Apple you have to see something similar coming for Mac users at a minimum. (Disclosure: Google competes with Microsoft, an Edelman client)
