Twitter For iOS To Get Push Notifications

on 09/03/2010 03:44 PDT

It seems that Twitter has already begun to test push notifications internally for its iOS app. It isn’t immediately clear what notifications will be pushed, but it should at least offer real-time updates on DMs, replies, and perhaps specific tweets. Some random users have reportedly already got their hands on the new feature with the Twitter for iPad application which was recently released. A Twitter spokesperson has confirmed that they’re already testing push notifications internally, but states that it isn’t ready for prime time just yet, though they plan on rolling it out soon.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
