The latest iPhone 2.2 operating system fixes many things, but something is still missing: Push notification services. Once again, Apple has missed the opportunity to enable push notification in a new update, which is especially bad after they failed to meet their self-imposed September deadline. That makes it almost two months late now. So what’s the problem? Is the cause just a technical glitch or maybe there are other hidden, last-minute reasons behind it?
So here I’m in Neeeew Yooork. Teeeeerrific! (That’s my Andy Warhol impersonation). One of the first things I did this week was to get a US mobile phone contract, and since I was there, what the heck, I replaced my broken-screen iPhone with a brand new iPhone 3G–which required a $US500 deposit because I have no credit history in this country. But I digress. The important thing is that I discovered that one of the best things about this phone–the one that truly made it a BlackBerry killer–didn’t work after I tried it: Push notification services are not working yet.
