You might have noticed that Gateway has been releasing lots of products lately that aren’t computers, like plasma televisions, DVD players, home theater systems, and other consumer electronics. They’ve been flailing for the last few years, trying to settle on a strategy that will bring them back in to the black. CNET has an interview with company co-founder Ted Waitt, who says that the new Gateway will be a “branded integrator” that sells a whole bunch of different devices that can all be linked together in a home entertainment network. You might recall that this is Sony’s strategy as well; it hasn’t been going all that well for them, so it’s unclear how exactly Gateway might improve upon this.
