Push It! Remember The Milk, Now Enabled with iPhone Push Notifications.

Posted on 29 June 2009 by Jason Reese

Ahh, day by day we’re starting to see more applications primed and ready for iPhone/iPod Touch push features. The popular task management application, Remember The Milk, has just released their own push notifications for the iPhone/iPod Touch running OS 3.0. One thing: while Remember The Milk is a free download through the App Store, you will have to be using a RTM Pro Account ($25 per year) to take advantage of the new push feature (you can try the updated app for 15 days before needing to upgrade to a pro account to continue recieiving push notifications).

Hmm…this highlights my major issue with push notifications.
Essentially here are the steps to get your task reminders:
-Enter reminder and set alarm (ie “Pick up dry cleaning, 6pm alarm”
-Your phone has to tell a server farm to let it know that you need to get your dry cleaning at 6pm.
-At 6pm you get notification you should get your dry cleaning (assuming you aren’t in a dead spot)
-You go in and check off that you got your dry cleaning.
-RTM has to go and alert the server farm that you got your dry cleaning.
-You are hailed as a hero at home for remembering the dry cleaning.
It’s great that there are finally task alarms, it just seems so overly complicated. I know an IM app will drain the battery, but a small alarm?
