iPhone email arrives

If you signed up over at Apple for iPhone announcements, you might want to check your email. Apple just sent out a mass mailing about the June 29th iPhone release. (AT&T sent out a nearly identical letter a few minutes later.) In the message, Apple suggests you start getting ready by updating your address book with your contacts (they'll sync to your iPhone and you can use them to place your calls and send email), by bringing your iCal calendar up to date, by setting up your iTunes playlists (remember, the iPhone only has 4 or 8 GB of space so playlists, especially smart ones, are totally the way you'll want to go) and by signing up for a Yahoo! or Gmail account.

As a final note, your iPhone will require an iTunes Store account. Your iPod doesn't require this, but your iPhone does. Another thing that makes TUAW go hmmm and our Mexican and Canadian readers roll their eyes in disgust.

Thanks to everyone who wrote in

Intermedia will be the first Exchange host to support business email for the new Apple iPhone.

The downside of "push" email is that every email you receive is pushed to your mobile device. This can consume pretty large amounts of bandwidth, which you may care about if you don't have an unlimited data plan. Alternatives in the past have allowed you to browse only the subject/sender info (things in the email header) and download only the messages you want.

How is push e-mail hype? It lets you not have to check your e-mail? What's the downside of that?

With regards to push... it is over-rated and over exaggerated. Your PC is not push, and MIDP 3.0 versions of new mobile phones will allow for always-on, always-running applications. Like your PC the application will simply poll your email server and bring down your new email. If you want a notification (to be interupted like push everytime an email comes) you can do so. Point being... with MIDP 3.0 when you check your email, all your latest email is there for you to read and enjoy. Push is hype.

I havent had a blackberry or anything, but Im pretty sure "push" email just means you dont have to press a button to download your new mail. Your email is automatically "pushed" out to your mobile.

looks like i was right-
