They seem to have returned to life sometime after 8pm EST yesterday. I’m still not getting push on my Win Mo device but the iPhone seems to sorta be working.

I’ll reserve judgement until I see if it is working mid-afternoon. I know that in the past it’s started off well and then by mid-day (when West Coast and other time zones come online) it craps out.

Funny thing is I remember when BlackBerry first moved to being used on cell phones and a very similar problem occurred. I remember it distinctly with my Nextel Blackberry that my service would be great until mid-day when suddenly it would slow, then halt. It would not return to normal until most of the users left for the day and the servers could catch up.

Google Sync has had problems since they added gmail…it was super flakey, improved for about three days, then flaked again. I have found it is rock solid as soon as you stop email sync, so I’m back to calendar/contacts only, with email on IMAP.

Google, God love ‘em, is just trying to do too much too fast. They’re going to end up a “Jack of All Trades but Master of None” if they don’t pull back and regroup. All of their projects spend an eternity in beta because they don’t have the resources to keep them all going.
