    There'll be lots of BS pricing on the AppStore in coming days, along with buggy versions. Patience is the word.

    Back on topic:
    Don't forget. The apps that use push will be more expensive as it cost the developer to run the push servers.

    At around 256 bytes (not even a kilobyte) per message, the cost can't be *that* much.

    Compose and send the notification. The notification includes a JSON dictionary payload that contains the notification information, including an alert message to display to the user, a number to display in the badge, and the name of an alert sound to play. You can also include custom information but the total payload size must be no greater than 256 bytes. The Apple Push Notification service will not deliver notifications that exceed this size.
