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.

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