I tried this several ways, you are right email is certainly getting the nod first from Apple, and I guess it should. I tried four additional test (eating up Apple's bandwidth, think how many others are also doing this). The iPhone would get the MobileMe email somewhere between 9 to 11 seconds, the Mac email would be well over a min., sometimes I quit the timing and hit "get mail" and it would be there. I then changed the pref. in Mail to check ever 1 min. and tried again, this time because of the timing of my Mac the email hit the Mac before the iPhone, so indeed the PUSH is not instant yet.
Remember Lee said that they were going to have to work out all the bugs, and can you image the demand on their servers!!! Last night I upgraded my iPhone to ver. 2.0 and this was a looooong process, now multiply that by even half the six million owners of the old iPhone then throw in several hundred thousand of the new iPhones being added and I bet Steve is cracking the whip and several guys have had NO sleep since Friday. Once the madness slows hopefully they will get this to working just as promoted, I added an event to a calendar last night to test (eating up Apple's bandwidth, think how many others are doing this) and it didn't show up forever, this morning it is there so the triage has to go first to email then the other apps will get the attention.
