Apple Drops Push Alerts!

It's up to the user how much battery they want to drain and I'd like to have my IM apps running in the background rather than having to restart them after I've gone into another app.

- colincornaby, on 08/17/2008, -0/+4It's a beta. Relax everybody. It'll probably be in the next seed again.
- funnyboy88, on 08/18/2008, -0/+1Buried for a sensational headline. They didn't drop push alerts. They simply didn't include it in the latest release because it needed more development. yawn.
