iPhone OS 3.0: Push Notification is here

Well, it is here. It isnt 'background processing' but a '(re)launch the app on demand': very useful if one is building communication applications. I am now worried about all my installed apps doing popups and sounds, even when it is not needed :)
It will be interesting to see how well Apple's push servers scale: apparently that was the reason why it took them longer to launch this. On a different note, Facebook Connect launched for iPhone.
