It's 7:40am in Cupertino.
I have a feeling we will see a status change later when those guys work day gets going. Nothing to base this on, just a hunch that I don't think apple would hand over control of notifications to a 3rd party when it could be a potential PR nightmare if they f*cked it up.
I doesn't matter what time it is in Cupertino. People halfway around the world could be shipping it.
