GPush finally made it to the AppStore but was quickly pulled due to the server issues. Below is from the the makers of GPush

“On Saturday August 8, 2009 GPush made it into the App store. We are currently experiencing a server issue and have temporarily pulled the app from the store while we work on the problem. This is an issue with our servers not the application and we will not need to go through the approval process again. If you have already downloaded the application, please know we are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.”

The team expects things to be back to normal and the app to be back in the AppStore in the next 24 hours.
