I don't mean to be too controversial and it's hardly a big deal, but do you know how PUSH 4.0 provides push functionality? I only ask because the Ultimate Notifier app advertizes push functionality for Gmail, and what it actually does is pulls Gmail's ATOM feed every thirty seconds or so. Of course, that's a pretty darn fast notification window, and it's super reliable. But in terms of "push notifications" in the true sense of the word, I wouldn't say this really fits with the definition.
You can find out what an app is doing by reviewing Gmail's "last account activity" at the bottom of every Gmail page, including the plain HTML version.
