hmm, i am no developer, i do not know if these infos are usefull, just my thoughts. the wwdc 2008 keynote adress http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0806wdt546x/event/index.html you can listen to Scott Forstall about the iphone 2.0 sdk (september 2008) between 0:54-0:59 he explains the "unified push notification service" which provides a persistent ip connection to the server. it provides 3 types of notifications: badges?, alert sounds, textural alerts with buttons. between 1:07-1:22 Phil Schiller gives a live demo http://me.com with safari and iphone. docs and standards? i do not know. http://developer.apple.com/ http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/development_tools/iphonesdk.html i do not know how all the linux-apps are communicating between each other but could the evolution-data-server act as a translator/proxy for MobileMe and other linux apps? can he push emails, contacts, calendars to evolution, thunderbird, sunbird, openldap, postfix, dovecot, cyrus-imap, webdav, ... ? could redhat/fedora provide a similiar service with open standards and oss? e.g. http://rhnoffice.redhat.com
