BeeJive 3.0 (push) to be out today sometime

likewise. I'm looking forward to this app update as much as 3.0 come to think of it.

Being on a 1g touch i'm a little limited, but having a fairly constant wifi connection between home and college all over campus, having this wee gem will be pretty useful.

can't see it coming out for a while longer though, possibly until after the 3GS hype calms a bit tomorrow evening.

Meta contacts should be good, its pretty frustrating sometimes when i have a few people on the current beejive online in several accounts, it'll be a nice feature when beejive chooses to message whichever account they're online on currently, once all their contact info has been combined into one.

Certainly worth the price i think, you tend to get what you pay for in the app store so hopefully the 3/0 update won't disappoint.

"It took a few days longer than expected for OS 3.0 to go live and for Beejive to get approved, but we’re told it should be live in the app store by the time this review goes up (if it hasn’t already).
Update: As of 12:10 PM on June 18th, it’s not available yet"

From the article. Read critically.

I should have been more clear. I meant I don't see where Beejive has announced that. Their company forums have a sticky that says they don't know when it will be released. And this article is just a reviewers POV.

I would assume that if they were told, it wasn't by joe schmoe. If they have a demo of the app, I would think they are dealing with the company directly.
 
You would have thought Apple would have coincided the release of apps utilizing push notification with their 3G S. One of the most important features, and there are no near to no apps that use it.

Yeah. No AIM yet either. Is Apple afraid their system cant handle the load? All we've had so far as AP News.
 
Is anyone still using the AIM beta? I thought it was supposed to expire by now yet I am still getting IMs pushed through it. i wonder how long that will last.
 
I think the reason is most likely what Beejive themselves said an hour ago:

still waiting on apple, sure they're swamped with 50,000 apps submitting updates.

But given the cock-up of MobileMe last year, I do wonder if Apple are worried about millions of IM notifications flooding their servers. It's not going to stop me refreshing beejive on twitter, though! Push is one of the few reasons I bought an iPhone last year...

Well given that Beejive has never been in the top 20 best selling iPhone apps, I'm pretty sure letting its update through wouldn't swamp the server...
 
The bottom line is that IM apps will put the heaviest load on the push servers.

There is no way Apple is stupid enough to approve IM apps without knowing what their base load amount is.

beejive has been geting up there since there price drop its number 4 on top paid socail networking catagories
 
Odd statement that because it's not top 20 its impact wouldn't be great. First, it's not like we're looking at one push per user, but multiple, perhaps hundreds or more in a day.

Second, because it's not top 20 doesn't mean that tens or hundreds of thousands of people do not own it.

The update itself, contained, wouldn't swamp the servers. The consequence of the update - thousands and thousands of IM notifications via Push - could overwhelm their servers. You'd hope that Apple have spent 12 months refining Push...but despite all the stress-testing, it's only when products reach end-users that servers are really pushed to their limits.
 
Everyone saying Apple is delaying because their servers won't be able to handle the load of Push notifications is full of ****. The load of notifications will be the same in a week as they are today, if not more. Think before you press "Submit Reply."

that was what I meant - not the actual update, the IM's.

Beejive isn't a MASS market product on the iPhone, like some other apps are. The number of "pushes" wouldn't be NEARLY enough to overwhelm servers...

So is Apple never going to release any of these apps. You're missing the point. These apps will be pushing the same amount next week as they are today. Holding it will do nothing to reduce the load on the push servers.
 
Although I have both, i'm more looking forward to IM+ 3.1 rather than the push support in Beejive. I just wish Apple would hurry up; they clearly don't have enough staff for the job, especially at the moment.

Of course if they release everything now there will be more traffic in a week. But you don't want to go from 0 to the whatever_large_number it will be in a week or month without first killing any problems that 25% of that might cause. This is a little more complicated than hopscotch. Think before you press "Submit Reply." Good advice, kettle.
