RussianiPhone.ru claims that they have seen iPhone 2.2.1 Beta 1 and that it implements Push notifications as well as over-the-air MobileMe syncing with Notes support. As proof they've posted a screenshot showing the Notes and Calendar applications with update badges displayed. Developers and users have been anxiously awaiting the release of this new feature. In the current iPhone firmware, applications are not allowed to run any background tasks. As a result, an application like an Instant Messaging application would be unable to notify the user that a new message had arrived. Push notifications would provide the tools to trigger these alerts.
