iPhone has done push email for a while now ;) It's a great feature though.

It isn't really "push". It is just a very high rate pull. It really hurts battery life.

Yeah, it's pathetic and Apple has really failed at this. But at least they admit it, and say they are trying to improve.

I know yahoo works with it, and apples own me.com thing, but gmail doesn't which sucks, I think you can setup other email servers to do it.

Apple do still have a way to go though... especially with the battery usage which does suck if you actually use push/3g/gps.
