C2DM #61

Why don't you use C2DM? You can push the messages to the phone via C2DM. I 
think it will be easier to do and setup. Moreover it will use less juice.

Looking at it, C2DM has some limitations and requirements:
-No Back Channel
-Needs application server
-1024 bytes message size limits
-Google limits the number of messages a sender sends in aggregate, and the 
number of messages a sender sends to a specific device
-Needs Android 2.2

In my opinion, XMPP is far more suited. C2DM plays best when you want to inform 
a large amount of devices about an external event (IIRC the earthquake app uses 
that) or if you want to inform a special device about an event, like an 
incoming call (IIRC Tango uses that).

Indeed there is too much limitations with C2DM for what we want to do.
Thanks for your proposal.
