[Adium-devl] Steve's WWDC presentation and instant messaging

[George Armah]

Hello,

I had a question (for Mac IM client developers) whilst watching the 
Keynote.
On a regular Mac, when Adium is not running, I don't expect to be 
receiving any ims or notifications
regarding messages sent to me from my Adium contacts.
Why is the situation different for Mobile Devices? I mean it is a nice
feature but isn't it more of an extra feature rather than a necessary 
ingredient for getting
IM clients (like Adium) to run on the iPhone?

Also, will Apple be able to handle the sheer volume of Push 
Notifications that might
end up being generated? It would have to be doing Push for almost all of 
the major
IM Services.

George.
