Differences between Push functions in RIM OS (BIS), IOS and android

Can anybody explain the differences between Push function in those OS for me? I'm really curious about how do they work and how they work differently from others. As far as I know, android applies Push function by keeping a port always on. How about other OSs?
Thank you very much.

Push notifications, by definition, all should work with the same concept. As per my understanding, there would be a open port to the server, through which it can receive messages. The finer details might vary a bit, but I believe all of them work with the same principle of keeping a channel open at all times, as long as you have network connectivity.

There are different ways of achieving push notifications. You might want to look at this first.
