I don't know how well this would actually work in practice. iPhone  
push notifications display something on the screen on behalf of the  
client app - they don't actually cause the client app to run. Only the  
user can launch the client app. That means that the only way to get  
the actual IM bits in this scenario is to launch the app and the user  
would just end up getting a bunch of "something happened" push  
notifications and they must launch the app to know what is the message.
