Damn. This also means back end for iphone apps running on google appengine will have a much much harder time...

Sure you could have a cron job that triggers a request handler on the appengine to open and close connections to apple periodically. But this cron job would have to be not too close to each other, so as to not be treated as DOS requests.. aaaaaaaaaah... damn it when will we see real background processing on app engine (or on the iphone, if at all)...
