- toddji, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Do you understand what "Push Mail" is? In this model, the mail gets immediately forwarded to your phone, so you don't have to keep checking GMail every 30 seconds while waiting for a message. It would also work without a wifi connection. It's basically a blackberry competitor feature.
As for the GMail push concept in general.. This is a pretty obvious integration. Or at least it should have been to anyone paying attention to the iPhone announcement, which included Yahoo talking about Yahoo push mail, and Google's CEO Eric Schmidt talking about Google integration. - rmwimpee, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11http://digg.com/apple/Opinion_Why_a_Mac_Google_Apps_integration_makes_sense
why do week old rumors keep geting regenerated? - emorgoch, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Buried:
This article has nothing to do with the iPhone, and instead discusses .Mac collaboration with Google. - jpowlus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-tid1.htm
"Tide you over" is proper usage, dingus. - weizbox, on 10/11/2007, -15/+21iPhone has wifi and comes with a brower... so it has gmail. 'nuff said.
- kcb2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7This article is not about push gmail - it is nothing but a mere mention in the last line... misleading headline and old news.
- metallikop, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6And you use the wrong form of its. You should have said "it's 'tie you over'". You're a poor grammar Nazi, back to boot camp with you.
- GabrielS, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I don't think you guys have experience with push email. It's awesome.
For my employer, my push email arrives on my Dash before it arrives in Outlook. If they didn't give me a desk, I could easily do most of job from the Dash directly.
I'd love to have push gmail. - JoeBaynham, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7Gmail is so much better than Yahoo and Apple already have Google Maps in place so why not put Gmail on the iPhone as well?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7This is old news
http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9024099&intsrc=hm_list - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Hence the iGoogle renaming?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4My Blackberry has had push gmail for a very long time :) Again, I love Apple, but I can't imagine writing an email on that touch screen. I can key really fast on my Blackberry with its chicklet keyboard. I can't imagine doing it without tactile feedback.
- noahhoward, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Doubt it is related.
- EBFoxbat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Ya know, my not-to-special Motorola's Q (Sprint) can pull email every 15min or every minute with a registry hack (WM5) why is push mail so special?
- Firehed, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Hardly matters anyways. If a push gmail setup isn't created for the iPhone, you can at least forward things to the push yahoo with message rules. It's probably better that way anyways so not every message I've ever received shows up on my phone - the last thing I need is my grandmother sending those stupid spam-trap e-greeting cards to a new email address.
Not to mention that I have way too many things tied to my gmail account to switch them over. As nice as push gmail would be, I'd just as soon use standard POP (praying that it syncs with mail.app) than set up a ton of forwarding rules to the push account.
Whatever, we'll know in an hour or so, won't we? - markab, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I have push gmail already on my blackberry TODAY. I just forward all my email to my blackberry email account and... drum-roll... taadaaaa push gmail.
Where is the story? - haggie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I can set my Treo to check *ANY* of my POP accounts as often as I want. I have it set to 5 minutes. I could set it to 30 seconds. Is "push" really a defining feature for a smartphone?
Also, I've never understood selling push email to the business market as a feature. I've worked to advance to a level in my career where no one "pushes" anything at me. I read and respond to email when and where I want. Push email might be great if you are a boss, but I'm sure glad it didn't exist back when I was a peon.
And lastly, unless push email is ubiquitous it really doesn't have that much value. Great, I get MY emails instantaneously, but unless everyone I'm emailing has push email AND decides to read/respond immediately, it doesn't really have much value. - Sewende, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Buried as lame.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1In your dreams! Mac Fanboy! They are so irritating that most of their articles and stories are just made up!
Look at Kevin Rose, he's making up stories that the iPhone has two batteries (one reserved for playing mp3s) months ago in his podcast.
Go with a Crackberry instead than waiting for an 3rd application software to do the job. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@ todd
"Well, your point is now mute.."
Point don't become "mute." They become moot. Moot: of no legal significance (as having been previously decided)
Almost, maybe next time you can succesfully attack someones grammar. - KennMac, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Yeah, sweet idea man. I can't wait until I'm in a meeting one day and my pocket goes... "You've got mail."
- colline, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@Philo1001 :
"when will the internet become literate"
When you permanently dismount that high horse and discontinue degenerating the English language. - dosle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I thought it was strange during the initial iPhone announcement that they were going with Yahoo Mail, especially since Apple was also partnering with Google.
Why wouldn't you want GMail push integration, I mean if you are already getting in with Google why not?
I've never had a Yahoo mail account, but from what I've seen in the headlines they appear to be playing catch-up with Google like everyone else. - colline, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@toddii
Egregious spelling and grammatical errors present within your post:
1) "mute" --> incorrect diction, needed "moot"
2) "I think so to" --> Preposition used, needed the adverb "too"
3) "irregardless," _regardless_ of your opinion, is not considered a word in the English language.
4) "their not alone" --> Possessive form vs. contraction (they're)
5) "in there anger" --> Possessive form needed (their)
6) "to many people do it" --> Preposition used, needed the adverb "too - phimu227, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1the iphone looks sweet but in this community the battery life is going to be the most important part. if it sucks the iphone will fail. the other x factor is the keyboard usability. if the keyboard sucks, the iphone will fail.
- braziland, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1This is lame. The post title is a quote from a hypothesis from the end of the article? How does something this lame make this site's homepage? Lame.
- GabrielS, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3If the iPhone supports java, then you can obtain the Gmail java applet from Google right now.
- didroe, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0@toddji (#7125977)
It's not killing spelling and grammar, just providing a more rapid way for it to change. That's the deal with this language malarkey, it evolves over time. I have to say that I, like many others, will resist the change as I am fond of the current syntax/semantics of the English language, but change is inevitable. Just look at the attempts the French made to constrain their language and the change between British and American English. - klaarn, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2lame... digg it down.
- masskurec, on 03/01/2009, -0/+0coming soon to a iphone near you
http://xptweak.net - GabrielS, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Ok, there push gmail? When did this happen?
- phmcd10, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0More iphone news and updates here!

- mydave, on 07/31/2008, -0/+0MacScoop has it that Apple's .Mac is about to get a helpful hand from Silicon Valley buds, Google.

http://www.trulyequal.com - crazybugger, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Apple = HYPE HYPE HYPE!
Google = Acting as don't be evil! - toddji, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Well, your point is now mute, as someone has corrected it. But, really I could care less what the correct term is, irregardless of what anyone says. Some people say the Internet is killing spelling and grammar. I think so to. So, their not alone in there anger. To many people do it, so you will loose any argument trying to correct it.
At least poor grammar is more decipherable than those abbreviation morons and their "c u l8r", "ur", "prolly", etc. I can see doing that when typing on a numeric keypad. But, why the hell do they do it on a normal keyboard? - fkr3, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1The actual post engadget adds nothing but ads to:
http://www.macscoop.com/articles/2007/06/11/apple-revamp-mac-google-partnership - jrbrewin, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1http://news.google.co.uk/news?q=google%20privacy%20international
- jrbrewin, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2either becuase they're true, or it's a slow news day for apple.
Considering what day it is, i probably say it's true. - TimDigg, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1When I first read the description, I read "Man there is a Steve Jobs"....almost like someone took the like "Man, there is a god" and inserted Steve Jobs...
- Rued, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1or
http://www.digg.com/apple/A_big_Google_Apple_partnership_next_week_Bet_on_it - JlmAWP, on 10/11/2007, -6/+0Excellent. This is what I've been hoping for since Jobs announced Yahoo! would be pushing. Couple more widgets, and this could be the Google Phone we've been waiting for......just kidding, just kidding.
- killerknives, on 10/11/2007, -10/+3If this is true I can't see anything bad coming out of a google-apple partnership. I would love to see what comes out the the combined minds of Gapple. Google enhanced spotlight anyone?
- Philo1001, on 10/11/2007, -8/+1well i feel TIDED over, its "tie you over", when will the internet become literate
- cybe, on 10/11/2007, -11/+3*DING!*
Dear Friend,

business suggestion for you. I honestly apologize and hope I do not cause you
much embarrassment by contacting you through this
means for a transaction of this magnitude, but this is due to confidentiality
and prompt access reposed on this medium, sorry my English is not very good. - HalBSure, on 10/11/2007, -11/+3As stale as .Mac has gotten, the last thing I want is Google involved with it.
- tvstare, on 10/11/2007, -18/+2gmail on my iphone not good to much spam to look I SAY AOL
- macfanboi, on 10/11/2007, -18/+2Yippie, Gmail blows!
