    Its not as bad as Vista being delayed a whole year. Speaking of Micro$oft, where is that amazing new Windows Mobile they been promising for past 8 months? Hmmmmmm

    @vgart: Or when the iPhone delayed Leopard for half a year which still got released full of bugs.


    At least Microsoft didn't run "look at us ship OSes on time" ads while simultaneously announcing the delay.

    Giz should head over to Cupertino and take a look at what's inside the "iPhone Push R&D Division" HQ


    my guess is a room with a bucket, maybe a mop and some mini army figures

    Apparently the iPhone has had the 'cut' feature all along, but everyone is anxiously awaiting the day when 'push' is pasted back.

    @Mona: MobileMe doesn't have anything to do with Push Services, which are for third parties.

    @Mona:


    I've heard some freaky stories about people saying the aforementioned "MM" words into their iphones 3 times...


    don't risk it just to be a showoff. You've been warned

    Especially since the iPhone OS won't support multiple apps being open at once.

    IM apps really are worthless on the iPhone without push.

    @phor11: I think the omission of background processing has to do with batterylife (the reason they keep pushing it off)

    Dude, it's only two months! Take a chill pill. Jobs has said after their Mobile me debacle that they will not release crapware again. So you should be happy not angry that when they do release it it won't crash your iPhone every 5 minute.

    @Noobs-R-Us: Only two months? Really?


    Because RIM has been able to do push for years. It can be done. So really, what's the excuse?

    @OMG! Ponies!: Wait, RIM is able to send over the air notifications to thousands of third party apps available for download onto their phones?*


    Doesn't seem like this is an apples-to-apples comparison (no pun intended), but I could be completely uninformed.

    @Oirectine: AIM and other clients always had background notification on the Blackberry. It's kind of pointless without it.
