"Today Polar Bear Farm released Tweet Push, an application that pushes new tweets to your iPhone or iPod touch."

I am not able to keep a desktop/laptop client open all the time at work, so being able to respond timely to a tweet directed at me doesn't usually happen. On a good day, I'll be able to see it 3 hours after it was sent. I've looked at several twitter clients, and even the twitter page, to try and get @jeffcampbell tweets sent to me by SMS, but I've only been able to do it with direct messages.

"Slowly but surely, push notification apps are trickling into the App Store, as you can see from this handy little list by AppAdvice.com. Some of them are less than impressive, since they offer strange niche functions that I could never picture myself actually using. Beejive IM came out last week, though, which has become by far my most-used app since, and now Remember The Milk is available, as of today, with push features."

I used to use Remember The Milk but never really got into it. With push features now available for Remember The Milk on iTunes (but only on the pro version at $25.00 US per year) I may look into it further. Then again, I've gotten along thus far just using my calendar on the iphone and setting alarms. The one disadvantage to that, however, is that it clogs up my calendar with a lot of to do items. But I'm not sure I will use this to get my moneys worth. Has anyone been using Remember The Milk in previous versions or current push version? If so, what do you think of it?
