In iOS, configuration of email, wifi and vpn etc. can be pushed over the air using Configuration Profiles. Is there anything equivalent for Android, Windows Phone 7 and Blackberry?

Look to the BES technology for BB. Everything is controlled by Service Records. But I don't know way to push/install custom Service Records. But I think there is definitely some way to do that.

I think you are searching for OMA DM which can be used to manage a device similar like the apple profiles. The OMA DM framework is currently not part of Andoid, but some mobile device manufacturer, for example Samsung with the Galaxy Note or Motorola with the BRAVO added it to there firmware. Microsoft Windows Mobile also used OMA DM. According to the ATT Website Windows Phone 8 also supports OMA DM.
