OS 3.0 compatible apps already trickling in

Some of our readers have informed us that Tap Tap Revenge (iTunes store link) has been updated to version 2.6, boasting compatiblity with iPhone OS 3.0. This is most likely merely the first of many apps that will see updates in the coming weeks, but it's interesting that Tapulous has unleashed this update so far in advance of OS 3.0's release.

If you are running OS 3.0, upon launching the new version of Tap Tap it will ask you for permission to send push notifications to your device. If you allow them, a new category called Notifications will appear in your device's main settings, which will allow you to toggle push notifications on or off. Additionally, it appears that each app will have individual settings for badges and alerts.

It's not likely that Tapulous will be sending any push notifications just yet, as Apple has yet to throw the novelty-sized Frankenstein knife switch to activate push services. It's also unclear at this point what type of push services Tap Tap Revenge may offer after that switch is thrown. It is an interesting preview of things to come, however.

Push notifications already work if you have the GM seed. Me and my friend tested it last night and it worked great!

Why is this even news? I've been seeing OS 3.0 updated apps for a while now, it's nothing new. Oh wait, this is Tapulous....

Adium on iPhone is a pipe dream. Look for Meebo!

I have 5 apps that say "iPhone OS 3.0 tested". They've been trickling in since at least Friday.

The patch notes say that the push will include a badge icon for unread feed items as well as SMS-style alerts for when you're challenged to a game by your friends.

Time for the Adium guys to make the magic happen on my iPhone. Please?

And as another commenter pointed out, video on Engadget shows that these notifications are running for people with 3.0 GM, so the frankenstein switch has been thrown.

Are there any chat applications or skype with push notifications already available? To me that would really make the phone more useful.
