ideally we wouldn't have to "deal" with anything. Voicing our opinion, and spreading the word, is how we get changes made.
What happens when you get more than one update ? does it say "2 updates from this App?"
Well said. I don't think this will be the main way we will see notifications in 3.0. If so it would be an incredibly bad patch job by Apple. I thought push notification was going to have it's own home screen app which wouldn't have made it perfect, but a far better solution.
i agree lets all speak loud enough to apple so they can fix these minor stupid problems, oh wait it took this long for aple to hear us out i wonder how much longer will it take to fix this now......
You're right. It's really not worth it, we should just roll over and buy whatever Apple releases.
oh yea lets just spend hundreds on a new phone that we dont know much about yet. i rather just wait to see how it is first and then buy it after a few months of testing and bug fixes. but i cant wait until 3.0 fw, and the iphone but we will see less then a month if im not mistaken
After the install this afternoon, got excited to see my first push notification but then haven't received a single more yet. I'm assuming they are giving 1 day for everyone to install the app first, because the email states they will purposely be sending quite a few pushes during the 7 day period.
That's really what I was hoping for, ether a general or an application specific status bar icon.
I'm a UK dev and I still got it
Doesnt work in the UK store though
This does work in the UK.
I received the email last night but only attempted the download this morning and it worked without a hitch...with the exception of it not displaying an icon for the app on the phone until it was restarted.
I have not yet received any push notifications in the 20 minutes I have had it installed.

There is no "PNS App." That smiley face thing Apple had when they talked about PNS was supposed to represent an example of an app that used PNS.
Working here as well.
It wasn't last night, when I got the email.
*edit* Doesn't seem to like my location, though.
*edit 2* It likes "10001" though.
Damn people and their conspiracy theories.
And I will be laughing my head off at you when it's not.
LOL at people dumping their iphones for a Pre.
This is what notification settings are for. You can choose any combination of:
- Sound Alert
- Badge on App Icon
- SMS-type Alert
If you disable SMS alerts for apps you don't use much, it really becomes less annoying.
Well I'm in the UK but I do also have a US iTunes account.
I received the e-mail and was able to download the application. Followed all the instructions but so far I've not received any notifications!
Seems a little odd!
They have only sent out one notification. Guessing if you don't have the app installed when they send out the message you have to wait until they send out the next one.
I don't see any problem here..
As long as you can choose 3 types of notification for each service, it's alright.
For the main IM app use TEXT push, for RSS, and low priority aps use badges, or nothing. It would be great to have large customization option for notification, lets say, from- morning, till afternoon text or sound, at night only badges, but maybe I want more the I can get in this.
Everybody knows, that PUSH is not the final solution, or at least I hope so. So until we'll be given the true background, we can handle IM's and all similar apps by these notifications.
But one thing I would like to know is, how we'll gonna pay for this push service?
Will it be free for consumers? (rss readers and IM)
Because if not, it will be HUGE disappointment for me.

I highly doubt that apple will give us a status notifier, the only way that will happen is by jailbreaking (which I might do, only if there isn't anymore lag)
You can turn notifications on and off in the settings either as a whole, or on a per-app basis (you can also choose whether the app is allowed to give a pop-up, play a sound or show a badge individually for each app.)
In addition, the first time you run a push-enabled app, the system will ask you whether or not you want this app to be allowed to send you push notifications.
The system broke after just one notification?!
