Alright, show of hands, who wants push GMail on their iPhone? Go get ‘em at m.google.com/sync. (Windows Mobile is getting the update too, if you’re into that kind of thing.) What’s Google Sync? Well, it lets you sync up your Google Calendar and Address Book with your native on-device functions, so you’ll always have everything backed-up in the cloud. This latest update now includes GMail proper, so you won’t have to ping Google’s servers every once in awhile to check your e-mail, it’ll just come to you.
