Number of applications downloaded from the iPhone App Store
After hitting a historic 1 billion downloads, Apple says the store cleared another half a billion apps in the following three months.

Whoa!!! Finally a push gmail??? Really??? Am I dreaming??
Works for me!! Finally! This is a good day for Gmail users.
Wait so if I have an iPhone, how do I set it up for push email?
Same question here, I tried it on an ipod touch, using the account that already works for calenders and contacts, and it doesn't work.
Great news...if you do not already use ActiveSync to an Exchange server...only one ActiveSynce account per iPhone, it appears...
Yep, same goes for Windows Mobile, Android, and webOS. This isn't really a solution for those of us that already use Exchange. But really, 10 minute sync is more than enough for me.
wait...so no app for that?
I now have this setup, and the push is very quick in testing, but it seems to take a few seconds to download the body of the email.
Strange. Maybe just a kink.
what version of Google Sync is this?
It seems to "work", but its REALLY slow. Really, really slow.
Awesome! I hope they'll add tasks sometime soon too....
How I wish that iphone supported more than one Exchange Account. Looks like I cannot have this since I already have an Exchange Account configured on my iPhone.
anyone know how the exchange stuff works on winmo compared to the seven email client?
Is it still working?
I tried it 10 minutes ago and it worked fine, but now I can't have the push anymore.
And it seems the Sub folders management is not working as well (yes I have checked the folders management settings on my phone)
Same here. I figure their servers are probably getting hit very hard. I have mine set to sync manually. I'll give the "push" email a try later on....
Sweet! Push Spam! Now I can be bothered instantaneously by emails I don't care much about.
This works just fine with PalmPre. Just follow these directions (http://google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138636) and you are gtg :)
that sucks as I already use activesync for my work exchange email
i only need push for my gmail so i can see when i get a google voice sms message, but right now that is being taken care of by some filters and prowl :)
does it work on s60?
So - on a WinMo device, how can I do more than one ActiveSync servers?
Obviously I need my work email, but I'd be happy to add my Gmail as well...
Works great with Nokia Mail For Exchange. Since I was using it for contacts and calendar already the mail is a bonus!
This was fail when I tried it when this post first went up. My iphone wasn't updating, and when it finally did it wouldn't load the email. I even deleted all my mail accounts on my iphone to try and fix it. But now (9:15 p.m. pacific) it works great. I just got an email and my iphone beeped before my Gmail Notifier Plus (win7) or my Firefox Gmail Permatab announced. I hope it stays this way!
Google yet again underwhelms.
Works fine on UIQ3 as well...
I have an iPhone and I've been using google sync with no problems for a while. I do wish that the iPhone supported more than one exchange account. Android might be the next device for me....
