Oh you're right. A friend of mine showed me that Sparrow has finally got push notifications so I assumed they had given in. Never thought that it was because he is running a jailbroken device. Darn Apple :/

Yeah, how dare Apple apply the exact same rules to Sparrow that they do to every single other 3rd-party iOS app!

Or, how dare they only allow specific actions to their own apps that the deny to third party developers...

They're doing exactly what they except Sparrow do if I'm not mistaken: run a server and push mail. There's no magic involved.
