Push is Better
In my last post, I bemoaned two Push applications that weren’t working quite right for me. Unfortunately for me at the time, my timing couldn’t have been worse for either of them.
Because now they’re working just fine.
GPush went through some teething problems when it was introduced, but now it’s working splendidly. I turned off the sound notifications, but left on the alerts and badges. So now I’m always aware of incoming Gmail, yet at the same time I’m not being constantly annoyed. I heard that the number of customers experiencing GPush problems now is very small.
Boxcar has gone through a similar transformation. You’ll see on my post that a representative from Boxcar offered to help me with my problems, but I suggested that I’d wait it out. That turns out to have been an excellent idea, because now Boxcar is working great for me. I personally use Boxcar as a replacement to text messaging. I refuse to pay my carrier that much money for such a small service. I now have Boxcar and BeejiveIM, which together give me a much better, and cheaper, solution than text messaging.
It would be nice if the iPhone had a a little light on it that would glow if you have a pop-up alert waiting for you. Kinda like the Blackberry, I know. But it would still be handy.
So now I’m a happy Push camper. Now I just need a Push app that’ll tell me where my kids are…
