Push email is important when you are relying on email for timely
notifications. Of course, whether you should use smtp as a timely
notification protocol is open to debate.

Call screening.
When someone calls you and they go to answering machine you can listen
and pick up if you choose.
I said answering machine to distinguish the voice messaging services on
the cellphone verses those provided by the cellphone company.
