iPhone Push Notification Settings and Screenshots
Apple began high volume testing of the upcoming Push notification system for iPhone applications earlier this week. The system offers 3rd party applications the ability to push notifications to the user even when they are not the running application.
Each application will ask for permission to provide push notifications upon launch. Once authorized, you can customize the type of notifications you wish to receive: sounds, alerts, and/or badges. Alerts provide an SMS-like pop up dialog while badges simply add a number to the corner of the app's icon. An additional gallery of screenshots is provided by MyAppleGuide.
The Push notification system will accompany the iPhone 3.0 release which is scheduled this summer.

Looks good - though they still need to enhance the lock screen a lot more.
I guess we'll actually get a notification on a new email now too if the email was pushed..?

Why is there no ignore button like on SMS messages?
What do you mean? When the notification appears on the lock screen or to actually disable the notifications? Appears you can do the latter..

An ignore button would be a great addition.
I think I would opt for just the badges and sound alerts. From the looks of it that might get sort of annoying if you had a lot of apps on Push. Not to mention the screen would light up even on lock, so the battery life might be compromised.

Yes. Like an email alert on your mail app.
