Yeah, thats exactly what I've been doing, but its kind of a pain because you have to switch over to your gmail account to respond. It's nice to get rid of that intermediate step.

It'll function the same as PUSH and Exchange as far as battery life. So if you're already using PUSH, I doubt you'll notice a difference.
