Overcast was a stripped-down podcast app that let you listen offline, create playlists and set push notifications for new episodes among other features, developed by Instapaper creator Marco Arment.
There's another service that does these types of notifications for new messages also: Facebook.
The app also offers standard Gmail features like multiple account support, conversation view, attachments, and push notifications for new messages.
And like the new version of Gmail launched today, Imo.im can send you desktop notifications for new chats.
There is also the ability to set different types of notifications for new messages including badging dock icons and Growl notifications.
The apps, which are free, have much of the same functionality as the web and desktop apps, but with a few extras including syncing between the client, push notifications for new messages, room invites, or mentions.
Sadly, though, unless you have a jailbroken iPhone or use a third-party service like Boxcar, you won't be able to get push notifications for new emails from Sparrow – but this could soon change.
