Anyway, this makes accessing all of your Google content much easier - It's your own personal Google Homepage. I'm still waiting for Google to make an official Windows Mobile-supported Gmail App for the phone, rather than just a J2ME app that constantly asks for permission to open emails. Don't get what I'm saying? Check out the complaints in the Google forum. I don't expect the problem to last forever, because Google is probably the best organization for listening to the people, which is why everybody seems to stick with them.

I believe google push mail works on WinMo and not on the iPhone. Also you can get rid of those asking for permissions by overwriting the policy.utf and selector.utf files on your phone:

Very cool response, Greg, but the Esmertic Jbed version that i'm using is more recent than the one in that post..I'm using a Custom Rom, Mighy ROM on the HTC Touch Diamdond. As far as the push email, i've been using it on Windows Mobile, but it's not as "instant" as on, say, a Blackberry, so what I've done there is set my Gmail settings to forward email to my phone provider's SMS Email Gateway..which will only foward text messages without an attachment.
What would be ideal is for Gmail to set up email notifications / syncronizations with their Google sync service (currently it's only Calendar and Contacts that sync with with google sync.
Randy,
I use the above hack with Esmertic Jbed Build 20090216.5.1 and have had no problems. I don't think it is version specific.
I agree more Blackberry like push would be awesome, but that kind of server load is likely to be too expensive to offer for free.
