Are You Ready For Push Notifications? Tap Tap Revenge Is
BY Tyler Tschida on apple iphone os 3.0 push notification tap tap revenge
iPhone OS 3.0 won’t be available to everyone until June 17th, but that hasn’t stopped Tapulous from releasing an updated version of Tap Tap Revenge that takes advantage of the new push notification feature.
In the new version of Tap Tap Revenge, a badge will appear when you have been challenged by another player:
Support for Push Notifications on iPhone OS 3! Tap Tap’s icon on the Springboard will be badged with an unread count for new feed items. SMS-style alerts will arrive when you’re challenged to a game by your friends.
It may not be the most creative use of push notifications, but hey, you have to start somewhere.
Expect to see quite a few more apps being updated with the ability to receive push notifications before the new OS is even available.
Embedded below is a somewhat blurry but useful demonstration of the feature in action.
