After a bit of a delay, the GPush app (iTunes link) has finally arrived in the App Store. GPush will send you a push notification whenever a new email arrives in your inbox. The app, which costs $0.99, does one thing and one thing only: it checks your Gmail account for new messages and sends out push notifications whenever it detects new messages. Just enter your credentials and forget that you ever installed the app.

We recently had the opportunity to test the Google Apps Connector for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) and then talk to Google to find out why this is significant and where it is heading. The basics: this enables "push Gmail," so you can use Gmail directly on your BlackBerry. Report: it works as advertised. We dug a bit deeper to find out whether this might have implications in the broader mobile market, for devices other than BlackBerry. We also wanted to understand the broader implications in the Web office and webmail market.
