[...] Mac, and from my Mac to my iPhone. I don’t need the “push” capabilities MobileMe claimed to offer because my syncing schedule was fast enough.It’s too bad. Apple had a big uphill effort [...]

The MacBreak weekly crew were complaining about the issue of push not being strictly true several days ago. It is not a question of semantics, more one of honesty or lack thereof!

It’s actually working really well for me. Alright the push isn’t true push on the Mac as it is still using the standard Sync app, but I would think they will release an update pretty soon to correct that problem.

It works exactly as expected on the version 2.0 of the iPhone OS though.

At least we got 1 month extra, and word push is out of order.

Seems like Apple are at least accepting the fact!!! 30 day extension and no use of the phrase push for now

MobileMe is clearly having some issues and from my experience it will not sync my Mac & PC like it claims.

There’s a disparity in creating push entries on various devices. If its an iPhone on v2 software it’ll push immediately but if its created on a desktop or laptop Mac running eg. Tiger it gets pushed every 60 minutes. That interval is every 15 minutes on Leopard. That’s how the service is set up, have a look over on MacRumors for the details.

Not quite push is it? But then its ‘for the rest of us’…..

As far as I can see, MobileMe is Push on my iPhone 2.0. When Push is not available then it switches to standard IMAP and a default 15min Pull.

From a desktop perspective, I didn’t think Mail and other apps will support Push until Snow Leopard is out.

All the best Chris!
