Now we've got 3.0, list apps with push enabled as you find them

sim667 · 17-06-2009, 10:17 PM

Thought this would make a good thread as push apps are probably one of the best things about the update imho.

Ive heard tap tap revenge 2 has them so far, but anymore?

I'm sorry I have nothing to add to the list, but I cant wait till we see it on apps like Skype... it will be perfect then!

excellent thread. Let's hear em

Skype is the one I think most people are holding out for - then theres Twitter and Facebook. If those can be updated with Push, then the iPhone takes on another dimension again.

Beyond that, I'd like to see some sort of gaming network (like Live! / PSN).

Thats what excites me so much about 3.0, not cut/copy/paste - or ANY feature that I can use as of now, but what we are going to see in the future!

(I stink of geek today, I'm a web designer who is overly excited about a firmware update for my geeky phone and I've just got in from watching Star Trek

Using facebook as an example ,

When some replies to , say your status , the application will show youve got a notification on the phones main screen ( on its icon ) rather than you having to go and check manually.

The information is said to have been "pushed" to your device...hence the name

tbh its well worth it @ £5.99

I think i paid £12 when it first came out ,with it now having push its one of the best apps imo.

Depends how much you value IM i suppose......

Hmmm, been using facebook on my iPhone for ages but never get any push data from it, normally I just get an email.

I think that was just meant to be an example, facebook would need to update there app to include it.

I used to use Beejive on my blackberry, and it was by far the best IM app out there. I hear the Iphone version is pretty damn good as well, and with push, it must be pretty damn good now.

However one thing lacking from Beejive is Voip / Skype support which Fring and Nimbuzz both support.

I reckon Fring / Nimbuzz / Truphone will soon be coming out with push support shortly though.

BTW, understand AIM supports push.

Now only if Gmail supported push, that would be great.
