Push Gmail for the Palm Pre

Back in April, we wrote about delay of messages to Blackberry devices. We asked who was to blame – whether it was Gmail or Blackberry. The fact of the matter is; it doesn’t matter. Why? Simple, the Palm Pre now has “push” capabilities with Gmail, unlike its Blackberry and iPhone counterparts. The information comes from a Google blog, located here. In a nutshell, “push” means that messages are usually delivered directly to the device seconds after they are sent, as opposed to Blackberry and iPhone checking at set intervals – resulting in message delivery delays of 15-20 minutes.

This hopefully will set the standard for Research in Motion and Apple. People want their mail, right away!
