Great platform to be more engaged with March Madness games that you may not have a vested interest in. Plus, it's a lot of fun and you may win bragging rights.
We are using Pusher and Backbone.js to create the live experience on the web and are also using libPusher in the iOS app.
What sort of experience have you had with Pusher and iOS, particularly in 3G environments?
For the most part Pusher has been great on iOS, however 3G can be really flaky and at that point it's not really Pusher that is at fault for a lost connection. libPusher by Luke Redpath is a solid Obj-C Pusher client but there are some connection edge cases we still need to work around.
Does pusher works seamlessly on web and iOS?
It sure does, Pusher gives you websockety goodness that works across both platforms.
