Google has released a big update for its Google Mobile iPhone app (link) that adds push notifications for Gmail and Google Calendar. The notifications can be adjusted in the app’s settings to only appear during a specified time. For example, you could turn off notifications for while you’re sleeping.

Also added to the Google Mobile app were instant as-you-type info for flights, weather, stock quotes, and currency conversions that show up without even tapping Search.
We wonder why Apple simply doesn’t have an option to turn on Local Notifications for its Mail app so there’d be no need to use a push notification server. Or maybe Google was wondering the same thing and got tired of waiting for Apple to implement it.
Google Mobile is a free download from the iTunes App Store.
*Update* Push notifications for this app do not seem to be working, and no word from Google on what’s going on.
