Browser push
About browser push
Browser push is designed to push information from a web application to your BlackBerry smartphone as the information 
becomes available. For example, you can receive updates for weather reports, stock quotes, or breaking news. When your 
smartphone receives an update, a new browser push message might appear in the messages application or an icon on the 
Home screen might change to indicate that new information is available. The web application might also push updated  information to your browser cache without notifying you. If information is pushed to your browser cache, the information is 
available on your smartphone even when your smartphone is not connected to the wireless network. Web applications that 
use browser push automatically push updates to your smartphone, unless you turn off browser push.
