Push It! Remember The Milk, Now Enabled with iPhone Push Notifications.
Posted on 29 June 2009, at 11:00 am, 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?
