A new CSS class and icon for http://www.Salesforce.com has been added to the Google Apps CSS:

   /* service items */

a.startpage,
a.email,
a.chat,
a.calendar,
a.webpages,
a.docs,
a.blogger,
   a.sites,
   a.postini,
   a.youtube,
a.salesforce {
background: url(img/mini_icons.gif) no-repeat;
width:20px;
height:20px;
float:left;
text-decoration: none;
text-indent:-5000px;
}

[...]

   a.salesforce{
background:url(img/salesforce-s-16x16.gif) no-repeat;
}

i.e. www.google.com/accounts/hosted/img/salesforce-s-16x16.gif

https://www.google.com/accounts/hosted/cpanel.css

Could this mean an official integration for SMEs or is it something special for existing Salesforce users?

Interesting, they already have a good relationship:

maybe sales force has a strategic partnership with Google.. that allows them to host the application on the google farms.. this will increase google apps...

or it just maybe that Google has plans of buying up salesforce :)-
