iPhone E-mail app - Huzzah! Who cares about push?

Fantastic news. A long time ago I signed up with Apple and Cingular/AT&T's mailing lists for info on the iPhone. Since that happened, I think I've seen maybe one or two pretty pointless e-mail's from them. Today, one finally arrived with some good news. The e-mail mostly was reaffirming that the phone would be released on June 29th, and then was giving some pointers on how to prepare your info/pictures so you could quickly and easily transfer it over. Mostly common sense types of stuff.
Anyway, onto the exciting news. Though it has been talked about a lot if the iPhone would support Push type e-mail (email that is automatically delivered to you as it arrives. {a la Crackberry}), it has never really bothered me either way. Figuring in that most of my e-mail could be accessed by web browsers; and the fact that the iPhone has a great one. At the end of the day, it didn't phase me much. The only thing that kind of bothered me was the worry of having to constantly hit send/receive like the Palm Treos. Well worry no more!
"iPhone is the first phone to come with a desktop-class email application. So now your phone can display rich HTML email with graphics and photos alongside the text. iPhone will even fetch your latest email every time you open the application and automatically retrieve your email on a set schedule, just like a computer does."
This was the paragraph in the e-mail that freed me of all my iPhone-E-mail worries. I hadn't even conceptualized they would add a timer like Outlook or other e-mail programs have, to automatically check for mail. But as it turns out, someone at Apple did. Another strong function that is pushing me ever closer to the edge of setting up camp outside my local Apple store.
