does the ipad alert you when you have a new email?

[PoppyseedG]

does it make a little noise or does a notification pop up on the screen when you get a new email when you're on your iPad? i know it doesn't do that for the ipod touch unless you click on the app and refresh your mail...but i think it alerts you on the iphone. (that's what i heard but i'm not sure because i don't have one) i was thinking about getting an ipad and i was just wondering if it alerts you when you have a new email because that'd would surely be nice!
