I can't get it to push, either. I actually created a yahoo account just yesterday when i saw that yahoo mail supported push while gmail did not. I've tested it out several times now but unless I actually click on the inbox i get nothing. I thought maybe its because gmail is my default account still, but really that shouldnt matter... the point of push is that the app doesnt have to be up and open right?
Got a tip for us?

First - the firmware, now Apple holds IM apps for appearing in the AppStore
Lower speed limits were not instituted for safety purposes. Back in the 70's during the gas crisis, speed limits were lowered because at the time, modern cars got better gas mileage at 55 than 65. Now, the speed limit remains at 55 for ticket revenue, even though most modern cars do better MPGs at 65 than 55. Also, driving at 55 MPH when almost everyone else on the road is doing 70 makes you dangerous not them.
Am I the only one who's slightly disappointed in Apple right now? We have multiple developers claiming they have software developed to take advantage of 3.0's features ready and awaiting approval, but only a few are out yet, and it seems only about 10 with push (Flick Fishing currently supports BT P2P and in game purchase, and Need For Speed supports iTunes music). When 2.0 came out there were hundreds of apps ready for download upon release of the upgrade. Apple should have had more of these 3.0 apps available upon release in my opinion.
uummm...are you trying to say Yahoo mail is better then gmail? gmail might not be push but it actually stays in sync with the iPhone, Mail and online. Yahoo mail is NOT push and dosent stay in sync worth ****. Plus, for it to even try to stay in sync on the desktop, you gotta pay them $20 a year.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't eh?
If the shock of millions of users installing thousands of push apps crashed their systems, I think apple would get pretty bad press. Like they do every time their system is overloaded. For once they take things cautiously and people can't wait a few days...
Good point. However, obviously Apple could have and may possibly have anticipated that scenario, leading one to believe that they would have developed a system that could handle that sort of load. If that's at all possible?
It's a good thing they haven't flooded the marketplace with push apps first day. MobileMe has been pretty slow all day I can only assume that it's linked.
I'm still waiting to see notifications, APNews hasn't send me anything yet even though notifications are set to ON. Is this regional as I'm in the UK but set to US English? Or have they not pushed anything yet?

You say as if they launch those apps tomorrow it would be different. Today or tommorow - doesn't matter
They almost certainly have, but there's a huge difference between plannign for something, and being able to claim preparedness. If they can allow load to increase in a managed way over a week or so, they can fix potential problems before they become an issue. Just turning on the floodgates to find bugs would be pretty messy if extra performance tuning, or hardware turns out to be required.
Makes sense.
Because we live in an instant world. We want things now, and we get them now. It's just the way it's become due to technology.
I'm sorry but the whole year it took Apple to implement the Push Notifications isn't to much of an "instant". If they couldn't do something right after a year then one or two days of delay won't make any difference imho...
Nope. I'm with you. However, there is a way to disable PUSH. Is there a way to disable PUSH for selected apps?
Absolutely. You can disable ALL push or certain push for certain apps.
Also considering that Push service is offered through a monitored server, there's very little risk of any abuse.
Of course there is. There even is the way to choose what type of push notifications you'd prefer for selected app...
I have yet to get a puch and I have Ap News and Tap tap and all that crap no puch yet.
I have the Edge Iphone so will I not get them?

How about P2P?
Push is nice (received one AP News alert this afternoon), but what I'm really waiting for is the first free head-to-head game so me and the other iPhone users in the office can try it out.
On the push side, I hope either WeatherChannel or WeatherBug gets a push alert integrated in for weather warnings soon. DC area has been pounded the last few weeks and it would be nice to get a heads up the next time there is a severe T-storm warning.

Yes but now that push is FINALLY here, we want our push apps. We still don't have MMS, at least let me know when I have an IM, instead of getting it two hours later when I pop open my IM client.
Not to go too far OT here.... while I agree with the safety of speed limits being moot—eg I would much prefer someone paying attention going 90 than talking on their cell phone going the speed limit—you are quite wrong about going faster saves fuel. In most cars it's the opposite.
On a dyno, you attain the best fuel efficiency when the car is in its highest gear, turning its lowest rpm. I would wager the majority of cars are probably most efficient at around 45/50. Taking that back out to the street, you now have to overcome wind resistance and that starts becoming a serious factor when traveling higher speeds like 55/65.
Cars have improved in both departments since the '70s but saying modern cars can save fuel by speeding is absurd. If your car has a tach, verify this for yourself. Speed up to 65 then drop down to 55. If your car doesn't shift back down (if you're in an automatic), you're wasting fuel. That's mainly why driving w/ a manual tranny you'll likely get better gas mileage since you can control the shift points yourself. For example, in my Mini Cooper S in 6th gear, at 65 I'm around 3000 rpms... at 55, it's just below 2600 (iirc, I'd have to verify but give/take a few rpms).
If you want to speed, fine, but know you don't get better mileage and you probably won't save time speeding in town. I've gotten my fair share of tickets as well until I realized what's the point. Unless you're going on a multistate trip, the time saved you can usually count on 2 hands, measured in seconds.
