According to one iPhone app developer, the current paucity of push-capable apps is due to server-side problems at Apple. Powerybase, developer of the NotifyMe app, received an email from Apple notifying them of a delay.

I doubt Apple is delaying Push based apps. More likely its the normal deluge. They are almost running 3 weeks behind on ALL app updates right now.
