I have Tap Tap 2, AP News, Textfree lite and have yet to receive a push notification from any of those. Just wondering.

:eek: Awesome! How long did it take to arrive? Like did you open the app and see when it was sent out or what not.

They probably don't have anything to send right now. I don't think it's because of Apple, as I'm sure the testing for AP and AIM went really well.

This may be a stupid question but do you need to have Push turned on to receive these? In other words, I go into setting > Mail, Contacts, Calenders > Fetch New Data and see that "Push" is currently set to off. Do I need to turn this on to receive the push notifications from apps such as the AP app?

Also, if I turn that on, will it impact battery life?

No, you need to have 'Notifications' on to receive push updates. What you mentioned is for email, calendars and contact updates. And yes, having any of these set to push will hurt battery life. I believe Scott Forstall said it was somewhere around a 10% decrease in battery life for Push Notification.

Haha. Same here. None of my friend use AIM so the AIM Beta I have is almost useless.

I just got a breaking news alert from AP. What I liked about it and if I remember correctly this is new from the beta testing of this app is the app doesn't automatically open after slide to unlock.

Yes! I can confirm it too. Got my first push notification from AP around 5 minutes ago regarding the Supreme Courts decision in regards to convicts.
