There is this cool app called Prowl in App Store that can push notify your gmails on to your iPhone. Pretty cool stuff. This $2.99 Prowl works along with Growl, a universal notification application for Macs, to push desktop notifications to your iPhone. But this works on your Mac only. The current version of Growl for Windows doesn’t yet work with Prowl.

Lifehacker shares this bit of info: Whenever an application sends a notification to Growl, Growl sends that notification to Prowl’s servers, which in turn sends a push notification to your iPhone. So, for example, if you’ve got Growl set up to display new Gmail notifications (details below), Prowl can push those same notifications to your iPhone. The cool part about Prowl is that it doesn’t just work with Gmail—it works with anything that Growl does.

Prowl – $2.99 [App Store]

Prowl is a Growl client for the iPhone OS. Notifications from your computer are sent to your iPhone or iPod Touch over push, with a full range of customization.

• Push Notifications—When a Growl notification pops up on your computer, it’s sent to Prowl over push and displayed on your iPhone. • History—Up to 30 days of notifications are kept on the server. You can delete notifications that you don’t want to see any more, or remove all of your history.
• Customized notifications—Only events you want are sent to Prowl. Inside the Growl preferences, you can set what priority should be sent, or how long after your machine has been idle the events should begin sending.
• Send any message to your device—From the Prowl website, you can send any amount of text to your device: links and phone numbers are automatically linked, so you can easily navigate around without having to worry about typos.
