Apple has just let developers know that they can start testing the upcoming Push Notification Service starting today!

Team Agents can log in to the iPhone Developer Program Portal and proceed to the App ID section to create the components necessary to enable and test applications using the Apple Push Notification service.
So, what Apps do we want to see getting pushy? Twitter clients? Instant messengers? Fart Apps? Let us — and your favorite developers! — know.

If anyone needs someone to test some kind of push notification I would be happy to do so! You can find me on twitter mattshall

TWITTER! really would love to see tweetie with push notifications. like a sound when you got a tweet/reply/DM and a number on the icon that tells you how many tweets you have, and when you get an DM a pop up window would be nice:) (also disable those things would be good for those people who get tons of Dm’s)

I would love to test also!!! I would like to see twitter also

@ropiko Problem is that /twitter/ doesn’t do push notification itself. I’ve been trying out http://www.tweet.im/ (XMPP gateway for Twitter) and am really liking it. Sure this method lacks some features of Twitter clients (using an IM client instead), but perhaps this opens the door for a merged IM/twitter app….

Facebook, twitter clients, im clients, mail.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
twitter and im for sure!
i emailed Loren Britcher (tweetie creator) and she said she would love to do push BUT twitter would have to do some heavy lifting on their end so we will have to see…

I can’t wait to see how many people trim down their text plans after this comes out.

Tweetie! And IM+! give me those two and I will be happy.
April 9th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
Facebook and Tweetie.
And while we’re at it, Loopt.

For me, personally, audible alerts would only be used for IM because it’s a “right now” form of communication where people expect immediate responses if my status says “Available.” I’d probably just use badges for Twitter, Facebook, and anything else.

Excited for PhotoShare to get push notifications. For those who don’t know, think visual twitter. Other great apps like ColorCanvas.

It would be nice just to know when there in new mail without having to unlock

Mboxmail!!!

To hell with Twitter. Give me Skype!
Then add Imap Idled.
Then i’ll shut up. For a whole week!!!
April 9th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
**** apps please!! I need to know when I get a new juicy ****!
April 9th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Tweetie I suppose would be all for me. I need backround more than anything for omnifocus, and possibly beatmaker while listenin’ to iPod.
April 9th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
I would definetly say skype. If I could know when some1 is calling without having to have the app of that would be awesome. And any app on my phone when a new update comes out
April 9th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Twitted but only with badges. Otherwise I’d get an intrusive alert every 5 seconds. Msn apps are mainly all ibwant push for.
April 9th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
this also might help todo app devs to implement a workaround for having notifications for tasks
April 9th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
Let’s get some basic email pushing going and then let’s worry about the rest.
April 9th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
@Coolbell Push email already exists on the iPhone, PNS on the iPhone can kind of offer a indirect push email I guess but it wouldn’t be true push email…

I want to-do’s notifications and I don’t want to be online to have them.
April 13th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Will this allow FINALLY for Gmail to push? That’s what I want… the mail app
April 19th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
i wish they made everything push , like myspace or facebook
