Types of push applications
Push applications send web content or data to specific BlackBerry® device users. Users do not need to request or download the data because the push application delivers the information as soon as it becomes available.

client/server push applications
|
Client/server push applications consist of a custom client BlackBerry
device application
on the BlackBerry device and a server-side application that pushes content to the client BlackBerry
device application. This approach provides more control than browser push applications over the type of content that you can send and how the BlackBerry device processes and displays the content.
