So with the introduction of push notifications, will the iPhone FINALLY get push GMail? This feature is the single thing holding me back from switching back from my blackberry. Any ideas?

google would have to write their own email app to do this. to get push gmail in the current iphone app apple would have to do this. i'm really suprised they didn't announce this. and ticked!!

apple would only have to implement IMAP IDLE to enable "push" on the iphone. or google would have to update google sync to include gmail. those are pretty much the 2 options.
