While it currently isn't, the other app mentioned in that story is.
Prowl is an app that lets you push any growl notification you get on your mac (yes it's mac only for the time being) to your iphone. This is interesting on a couple levels. For starters the google notifier uses growl to alert you of new gmail messages. This means that you can now get around the push issue and get your gmail as soon as it comes in. Secondly, many Apple apps use growl. This app can be used to tell when your torrents are finished, when somebody is trying to IM you or a host of other things. Interesting possibilities with this one. It costs $3 and requires a little bit of configuration on your mac to work properly, but I still recommend it.
For the easiest install, follow

edit: I'm trying to set it up for Adium (IM client) ... it's sending me every single message in a conversation which is a little overkill. I think it may be time to face the facts and admit that I'm going to be buying beejive for all my IM chat pushing needs.
edit2: Figured out the adium fix ... still may need beejive.
