I kind of had the idea that Exchange may have been done away with since all the board posts and blog entries were at least six months old and often older. Still, what a bummer. I actually like the native iPhone mail app and would prefer to have all my accounts in one spot. I may just consider paying for the Google apps service if that's the case. Can anyone comment on whether paying for exchange does in fact address this issue and how accessible the process is?
I downloaded the native Gmail app last night and it is certainly a different layout. Accessible, but just different. Not as clean or straight away as the native mail app. Can anyone speak as to the current accessibility of Push4.0 or ultimate notifier? I saw a review of Push 4.0 on Apple Vis, but that was from a few months ago.

It'll work for paid Google Apps users, and it'll continue to work for all existing devices that are set up to use it. But if you haven't used it on your phone before then unfortunately you're out of luck and you'll have to set up IMAP, which does not include push. There are several third party apps such as Ultimate Notifier and Push 4.0 and the native Gmail app that can push mail to you. It likely won't feel the same as having full Exchange support at hand, but IMAP has its advantages too.
