Seems is type of tech is nothing new. From what I can gather, the service is build on top of MS Exchange's 'push' service, which in turn is a spin-off of the crackberry.
Canonical has made great inroads into a Mobile Linux via Ubuntu.
And the next release of the OpenMoko Neo1973 could be what we've been waiting for in an open 3G-capable device.
I think the keyword here should be "convergence": of th Google Mobile, Google's OpenSocial project, a GREAT Ubuntu release (I'd like to see something like the 'gUbuntu' rumoured earlier), and truly open devices like the OpenMoko.
Google has been leading from the front-line in the adoption & development of OSS technologies, and wish them all the best of luck forward!

I love the use of the phrase "long-lived HTTPS request". Sound very much like the HTTP(s) counterpart to IMAP-IDLE.

Great idea!
Maybe we can recruit Paris as the eeePC mascot.
Gods know, it's simple enough for her to use & fit into her bag, and it's something that's actually cheaper than she is...
