Seven's push email now on Java ME phones
Initially supporting a very limited amount of devices: Two Sony Ericsson Walkman phones and the Sony Ericsson K510 camera phone.
I'd imagine push email would be solved by sendng an SMS when new emails arrive. The SMS would be intercepted by the Java application in the phone, that would then request a list of new emails via HTTP.
"In order to use Seven's push e-mail customers must have a capable phone."
That's surprising, as the simplest MIDP / WMA phone should be sufficient. Therefor it looks like a trial at this time, that will be extended to many more phones later.
