MobileMe and iPhone 3G’s Push Email Really Push?
One of the new features in Apple’s MobileMe suite is the push services, allowing users to get near instant notification of incoming emails, as well as instant changes to address books and appointments. There are grumblings, however, that it isn’t true push. For example, when settings are changed in the MobileMe control panel on a Mac, it doesn’t initiate an automatic sync, so the handset isn’t updated till the next scheduled sync, which is every 15 minutes. It’s really more of an annoyance than anything else, but is a sync every 15 minutes really true push connectivity?[MacRumors]

My experience seems to be that it is push, though I will admit I havent fully tested it out.
I have had my iPhone for a few days now, and have setup mobileme and done a sync. I have set my iphone email on push. The Fetch setting is separate and I have set this to hourly.
I sent myself an email from my office to my mobileme address and in less than 10 seconds my iphone had received the message. I have done this several times in a row. This would seem to me that it is really pushing the email.
The Sync settings on the iMac would seem to be quite different and separate from the way the iPhone operates. I’m not sure I can think of a specific reason to make them different, but maybe because of the way email functions on most computers (pull oriented) is the behind it.
calendar does not work, it changes the schedule as it pleases, it is a shit system and I believed which makes me feel even more stupid.
