Boxcar
by appremix
Boxcar checks your Twitter account every two minutes for mentions and direct mentions. If you get one it will push you the message and let you see it in your preferred Twitter client. Still not instant, as Twitter really should be, but it looks to be the best solution at this time.

Tweet Push - Push Notifications For Twitter
by Polar Bear Farm Ltd
Like Boxcar, Tweet Push is not a full-fledged Twitter client. Instead, it pushes your mentions and DMs and pops open your preferred Twitter client (Twittelator, Tweetie, Twitterfon or Twitterrific). However, unlike Boxcar, this one is subscription based. It'll cost 99 cents every month for each Twitter account you want to use it on.

Also pushes you Twitter replies and direct messages like Boxcar and Tweet Push but gives you a little more of the functionality you would expect in a Twitter client.

TwitBird Pro for Twitter
by NibiruTech Limited
iTwitter is a first full-fledged Twitter client with Push Notifications but comes with one major catch - you both have to be using iTwitter to receive the notification. You can receive mentions and direct messages.

SimplyTweet Twitter with Push Notifications
by MotionObj
Another Twitter client that pushes your mentions and DMs. Unfortunately, it features a couple bugs in the 3.0 release that should probably get worked out before you consider buying it.

Prowl: Growl Client
by Zachary West
If you get Growl alerts for Twitter on your desktop Mac you can get those alerts pushed straight to your iPhone or iPod Touch. Not the most elegant solution, but it's available.
