In my own opinion, the push notification service is a workaround for:

a)iphone lack of multitasking(even with ios4 grand central style)

b)AT&T network congestion


I much prefer the style of n900 background sip,skype, jabber, etc
Why? Increased battery life is a plus for iOS. They still can receive messages and voice calls via their method so what do we really gain with the Nokia desktop client model?
