As a rule of thumb, if what you want involves your iPhone waiting to be told something by somebody/something else, push can help. If you need your phone actively to do 2 or more things at once, you need background processes.</p> @Dave Specifically to your example, push notification would not allow you to text while listening to Pandora, while background processes would.

Push notification means that SOMETHING is idling (probably part of the iPhone OS) and listening for some even destined for one or more of the apps installed.

When one arrives, the OS launches that application and hands it the notification event, or more likely just tells that app to “Call Home” to figure out what it is supposed to do.

Background requires all the apps to be running, chewing up cycles and memory.

(Only Apple apps can run in the background (mail). You can leave any given app running in the foreground when you sleep the phone (but only one app).

My big concern is this Push notification is going to require a Mobile Me account, I hope I’m wrong.

  1. What’s the difference between background and push notification?

Like for Pandora, would I be able to play it while txting someone or what?
