Could you please give any details about how the iPhone app is actually receiving these notifications ?

  It just uses push notifications. But each site you're getting notifications from doesn't have to make you install their app. You just have to have Notifo installed. You also can actually see a list of all of the notifications you've gotten.

    It seems pretty similar to Howl (http://howlapp.com http://howlapp.com, mine) or Prowl (which also offers an API). What's new here?

      It looks like notifo is trying to be a universal notification system. It's not going to be an easy way to do iPhone push notifications; it's going to be a single API to push to any smartphone. They're starting just with iPhone because it's easier (since push is builtin) and widespread and they wanted to get something out there as fast as possible, but they say Android and Blackberry are coming soon, and I bet WebOS (and Windows?) won't be far behind.
