Push Notification=push gmail?

That's true for current push email implementations.
A future email server setup just for the iPhone could easily use the global application notification mechanism.
push notifications are a overrated feature. android users are now staying in touch with their friend while surfing the web but who cares? i kiss my iphone everyday and stevjobs is my lord!
Why do people keep confusing this.
The "Push Notifications" that were "supposed" to be delivered in September are for apps like Instant Message Programs to stay running in the background and be able to push notifications of chats, etc.
Push email can be done now on the iPhone with MobileMe
So it can handle if.
......if Google wanted to support it.
But why would Google support it when they have their own phones?
My guess is, GMail will NEVER push to an iPhone as a standard.

Google worked with RIM to provide instant push email service for all the blackberry users long before the G1 was ever around. No reason they couldn't work with Apple to provide it on the iPhone. I think it's Apple that's the problem, not Google. They offer push exchange, yahoo and mobileme. But not google?
For all things PUSH, read my original post here

I'm hearing that that Macworld may still end up being a no-show for PUSH and that Schiller will be avoiding it like a landmine.
Expect nothing more than a few product announcements and a discussion on an upcoming and more serious iPhone update later down the road. My source is like the dude mentioned in the the thread above which has been right up until now.

So Apple offers three different types of push e-mail. Google doesn't offer any. Therefore you conclude that Apple's at fault?
Can you explain your logic here?
My logic is that google works with manufacturers to provide push service for their email. Why would they work with RIM and not with Apple?
The reason could be, at the time Google worked with RIM to enable push email, they weren't working on developing their own phone. By the time Apple's iPhone supported push email, they were developing their own phone, and decided not to work with Apple.
I could be wrong, though. I really don't know when push email started working with BlackBerrys.

Ask Google.
I have no idea why -- but my bet is that it's something along the lines of what Kazakaz said.
I don't know the details of the situation -- I was merely commenting that conclusion that Apple was at fault was... interesting.
They do indeed. Now _working_ push e-mail... that's another story.
Yahoo's implementation is both horrendously insecure and laughably unreliable.
Well I have never has a problem with it but I don't live in email. How is it insecure?
I don't think that is a Gmail issue.
When I forward my Gmail to MobileMe, it is just about instant.
ZING!
He's gonna be here all week, folks. Try the veal, and don't forget to tip your waitress. Good night!
Push email is only available on the iPhone through MobileMe, which you have to pay for..
The only exception I know of is that Yahoo supplies free push email.. I use a generic yahoo email address, and it works great!
