Anyone work with this yet?

I've been playing with chrome to phone and unfortunately the jumpnote example won't compile (missing a package from their trunk) and was just wondering if anyone had worked with it.

I can follow chrome to phone, but there are some oddities that strike me.

Groupon has a faux messaging service as it seems to push notifications when you fire up the app or by some other sort of polling method (the permissions don't stack up to what would be needed in the manifest for C2DM).

Facebook has what seems to be actual C2DM notifications although I can't verify that they work. What also confused me is that Facebook doesn't allow me to select the account I want to use (there are multiple gmail accounts on my phone for testing purposes). So I don't know if that is what is throwing off not getting C2DM notifications.

The handling of messages is a lot more clear cut, we just need to make sure that the services are passing the Intent correctly. My questions are more around the registration process. Would the best practice to be allowing the user to select the account if there are more than one? Or does it not make a difference?

Doesn't matter. Just needs to have a google account on the device. Now just letting the person working on the push piece to figure out how to do the Auth Token (it's not hard to figure out, just wonder how long it will take him k)
