When I'm at home, I can just refresh the /threads page in the background. iPhones don't have a "background" to refresh such things in, so this is a useful niche.
I admit, though: an RSS -> iPhone push notification gateway would be more useful. (Though as far as I've seen, none of the iPhone RSS clients want to support Push, because none of their servers could handle the load. It would really just need to be a part of PubSubHubbub infrastructure.)
