Only some of their own built-in apps have been permitted to run in the background (multi-task). Push services require that a "listener" be permitted to run and act in the background. Push doesn't work if nothing is listening, after all. So there is a close connection between whether or not Apple restricts multi-tasking and whether or not generalized push services function.

It appears Apple may be doing it's own thing based on open standards rather than relying on MS' proprietary solution. If so, this may be why it has taken so long. If I'm reading the article correctly, it sounds like an interesting answer to the problem of push services and much more efficient than the MS Exchange solution, but, just like with Blackberry devices, the success will be in the linkage to existing services like Exchange or Notes or IMAP/POP. Actually, your answer may be here:
