As does BlackBerry and I believe certain Windows Mobile devices do as well.

yep
OK that is good to know, thanks...but for me the real benefit would be to see pushed email notifed just like SMS are...Is that possible? Otherwise i do not see the real benefit at least for email as if i get a mail sent now for instance and check my iphone in 30 minutes..both the push and imap gmail account will have the mail downloaded...
Sorry i found it..it is on the bottom on the MSE acct whie it is in second position on the imap acct
Update:
Google Sync offers some advantages over using IMAP on your phone. Most importantly, it allows for content to be pushed to your phone within seconds after changes occur on the server. On the other hand, using Gmail Drafts from your phone is not possible via Google Sync.
This is not good news...How difficult would it be to sync draft!! Not sure why this option is not enabled...
I am not gonna renew MobileMe.
Find my iPhone is the only thing I'll miss but hopefully I will never need it.

you don't need any app, just delete that account and follow this instructions:

Now I don't use the contacts or calender, so I just click "no" for those? I have all my contacts on my Mac in the contacts and it syncs to my iPhone and I really don't want to set up another contact book.
Version 2.1 of the iPhone and iPod touch app called LetMeKnow has been submitted to the App Store, it should be here within a week. It includes push mail for any email provider that supports email forwarding.

So pushing seems to be happening much fast now.
However there are still some known issues I don't like. For instance, deleting an email from your inbox ARCHIVES it on the web.

Only way to really trash something using sync is to delete it from "All Mail" view. Or move the message to "Gmail/Trash" folder. That's annoying.

That's why I could never use Gmail as my primary e-mail account, it simply involves too many steps to keep things cleaned up and organized. I've never liked their "conversations" method of grouping e-mails together either.
Yes!
