Helio offers push Gmail

So you got yourself a Helio Ocean, Helio Fin, or Helio Mysto, and you use the email all day long. All your various email services are push-enabled except for Gmail. Ain’t that a bitch? Well, Helio users woke up this morning to find that Gmail is finally push-enabled on all aforementioned devices. No crazy configuration required — just hit send and receive — your emails will just come in right before your eyes. While this is first "out-of-the-box" method we’ve seen, it isn’t the first with BlackBerry devices having this ability for a while. Still, it’s nice to know the world is changing. After all, could you live without push email?

    If you have to hit send and receive, how is that “push”?

    This sounds more like “pull” because the user has to hit send and receive to initiate the mail delivery.

    For true push, you shouldn’t have to do anything on the device.

    Sorry…you hit send/receive once to enable push email, you don’t hit send/receive after that first time.

    I’m trying to find a list of mobile devices that are push-enabled for Gmail. So far this post is the only bit of info I can find. Did Google announce this themselves? Is there a link to this announcement? Or even better, a list of what devices support this?
