bcc'ing XCode and flipping to Cocoa-Dev which is a better list for this question IMHO, if you're not a member of that I'd suggest joining it for this kind of question. You could also try the apple developer forums which have more iPhone-specific stuff, but Cocoa-Dev has more depth (again IMHO).
I'd suggest taking a look at 'Local and Push Notifications'. It's the other way around from how you're doing it, instead of keeping the phone pinging you push notifications to the phone, it's a lot harder to implement but I believe this is the way you do it the way apple does it/wants you to do it.
