'Push' Notifications Coming in iPhone 2.2.1?

Wirelessly posted (iPhone: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 2_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.18.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Mobile/5G77 Safari/525.20)

I hope this is true. It has been a long time waiting on this.
 
Actually, I think it's the same site that gave us the CONFIRMED rumor that 2.2 was coming in 10 days.
 
I Think It's Real

Can't believe this was even posted. Look at the shadow under the badges, the shadow isn't nearly that black on actual badges, they've just made it solid black because they're too crap to draw shadows properly (and too crap to apply fake badges via jailbreak too).

Horrendously fake, ignore.

(Also, can confirm there is no developer betas at this time)

I've taken a screen cap of my phone and compared it to the Russian image. The shadows are almost identical with the shadow pattern I see on my capture. In fact, the entire badge is nearly an exact copy of the badge from my phone. If it's fake, they did a darn good job of it.

I believe the reason my badge pixels are not EXACTLY the same as the Russian pic has to do with the image underneath and the screen brightness. But it's the shadow and the blending around the badge that convinces me that it's not a fake.
 
Undecided

In case anyone is wondering, I went ahead and jailbroke my iPod touch for this thread to swap the icons for Mail and Notes to see how a badge would REALLY look on Notes WITHOUT Photoshopping to shut up those who are screaming Photoshop on this. Here is a screenshot I took.

I swear to you that this screenshot is legit. It's 2.2 with Mail and Notes icons swapped... so Notes is actually just MobileMail.app in disguise.

Your badge pixels are within 1 or 2 RGB brightness values as the Russian picture. I don't understand why they are not exactly the same though, unless your screen brightness is not set to the exact same level as the Russian pic. But it has to be close, real close.

Considering that you managed to duplicate the Russian image, I'm now back to being undecided as to whether their pic is real or fake. Yours is a fake, so theirs can be too, regardless as to what I'm seeing in Photoshop.

EDITED: And now that I've read the REST of the story, I can go back to whatever I was thinking before this silly article came up.
 
can somebody tell me.

is blue tooth support. like voice dialing a software or hardware upgrade. why can't apple add it? would it hog memory ect. Need to hands free dial and not a big fan of the supplied headphones
 
if you have exchange on your phone, you do get notifications on Calendar application. If there is like a meeting invite, you get a notification and it shows up as a notification badge on the application icon.
 
Fake or not fake, please add the "push" support for the next update, along with widescreen keyboard in SMS and email, SMS forwarding, notifications on the lock screen (email, SMS, missed call, silent/not silent, etc) and the "haptic feedback"
 
Man, I almost turned my MobileMe sub back on when I first read this.

I mean, why does MobileMe on the web have To Dos, but they aren't on the phone.

Seems stoooopid if you ask me.

Glad it was proven fake so I didn't waste my time or money on MobileMe.
 
try fixing 2.2 first

call quality and dropped calls have INCREASED in metro LA since I updated to 2.2. Apple should get it right first then add features. I thought I was ready to get my rid of my landline.
 
turning on push made my battery life suck
I am sure this will do the same
However it is still nice to have it, and turn it on when needed
 
I can't believe anyone fell for this. Everyone's ******** meters should have been going crazy the minute they learned that it was from a Russian site.

To me, it makes little sense to have a badge appear on the Notes app if it is being synced, which makes me a little sceptical.

The Contacts app acts in the same manner now as we would expect the Notes app to behave if it were synced over MobileMe, and there is no need to badge the Contacts app.

Users would not need to be notified of new Notes being pushed to the phone, because they were created by the user themselves on their Mac. Only if Notes were RSS capable or fetching non-user generated Notes would this be necessary, I think?

Agreed 100%. That logic alone makes me think this is a fake. I don't want badges all over my home screens, and this would be a poor usage of them.
 
OK, I give up (while I confess that I don't use Mail on my Mac, it if it does have this feature [then I could see why!], or the Notes app on my iPod very much): Someone please explain to me why the Notes application would need to have something pushed to it.
 
Awe man.
If this is released at MacWorld or even slightly before Christmas then it means that we will most likely not see 2.3 anytime soon.
If it's only 2.2.1 then there will probably be only push added.
I am hoping 2.3 will be announced at MacWorld and push along with a but load of other features, i.e. copy/paste and background, are added.

This has been said before but I'll say it again, I hope for this to be released on the iPod touch also.
 
Maybe the reason Push has been delayed is because its going to be beefed out into something even more impressive and will drop at MWSF along with this rumoured/well overdue note syncing
 
Well the push may be false info, but multi-tasking with spaces is on the way some time and I'm sure lots of people will love that.

WRONG! The site that gave the CONFIRMED rumor that v2.2 was coming in 10 days was iPhoneHellas.gr (link) and it's a Greek site.

The one with the false rumor about the v2.2.1 is a Russian site...
 
I hope this paves the way for alarm apps that can play a playlist so that we can use any speakers with our iPhone instead of having to buy a clock radio (I'm not a fan of a glowing clock in my bedroom and miss the days of my iPod and iPod HiFi serving as my alarm clock).
