    My G-mail is Pushed to my phone, along with my companies exchange data. But thats because I have a G1 rather than an iPhone.

    @Justinpaulson: Look under the Advanced tab. You'll see that Gmail is on Fetch. Yahoo!, MobileMe, and Exchange can push to the iPhone. Gmail cannot.

    That's a good question Ponies. Based on Apples observations I would assume it's not since they were intended on limiting the amount of apps that would push to your device. But, that may just mean that the push itself would use more batter as well as constantly checking.

    Is push a zero-sum battery drain? If I have more than one account set to push, will that drain my battery faster than just having one set to push?

    @OMG! Ponies!: Push does use some more battery power than fetch.

    @KStrike155: That's not what he asked guys. Jesus, I'm serious here: What's wrong with people's reading comprehensions these days? Not directed at only you KStrike, just a general question rather.


    OMG! Ponies!, yes you're right. As long as you have push set up for ANYTHING, it sucks the same exact amount of power. It is really doing nothing but setting up a perpetual link between your phone/iPod and the Apple Push Servers, so that link doesn't multiply its use of power the more apps you have pushing notifications to your phone. So it makes sense to load up a bunch of apps that you want pushing stuff to your phone if you're gonna have it on anyways....

    @TheSonOfKrypton: Actually, my question is more limited (right now) to multiple email accounts set to push. I have my Exchange account on push. If I have my Gmail (or another email account) set to push as well, will that drain more than just having one email account on Push?
