To me the article treads frightfully close to conflating "push email" (being notified immediately when a message hits the inbox instead of polling at regular intervals) and "push notifications" (the medium of the actual notification). Thankfully it looks like the comment section here is able to tell them apart, but calling Exchange ActiveSync "push notifications" seems like either ignorance or pageview fishing.
