It’s only in some countries, but query again in an hour or two and it should be everywhere.

It’s actually quite fast, even on a device that has been in standby for 30+ minutes… Now if only the alerts were configurable (sound, vibrate, repeat, etc).

In the context of the iPhone, the issue with IMAP IDLE is that it maintains a relatively constant connection to the IMAP server, which sometimes causes issues when hopping from GPRS/EDGE to 3G to WiFi and back again. However, the fix is fairly simple, establish an IDLE connections through the mobile network (not ever WiFi), and only use that connection to monitor IDLE, if additional information is needed that isn’t in the IDLE response and WiFi is available, fire up another TCP session and pull the information via that session.

I certainly hope not. The whole point of push is to eliminate client-side polling.

I’m still not clear why I would want Push email rather than IMAP IDLE.

Either they forgot this or there’s something much worse else.

WebIS’ Informant released a bug fix and approval has been held up 2-3 weeks now, but after the bug fix was released they released a “Lite” version of the app which is identical in every way except that it only synchronizes a few days’ worth of calendar events, the Lite version was approved.

In other words, whatever is going on is causing apps to get approved out of order, some apps are getting held much longer then others.

Informant (full and lite) is not using push either, so it’s not just push notification apps that are being held.

It might have nothing to do with push notification.

P.s: am I the only one who is a bit dissapointed with the recent Facebook App update, not including Push?
