That's such a clever code maccman. Very impressive way to get around Apple's decision to disable WebSockets...

I am already using the gmail widget and its proved to be so useful. I am very pleased that I can now sync it to a mobile platform.

Keep up the good work.

Not that it's not cool and all, but long polling ajax is ancient tech, not really anything new or innovative.

True, it is fairly ancient. However, the beauty is in the implementation - i.e. emulating the WebSocket API and using the same endpoint.
