OK, I have some updates for everyone.
First, we did manage to get some information from Apple, thanks to an ex-SoftArc employee who is now a manager at Apple. It appears that a large number of applications were not approved in the transition from 2.X OS testing to 3.X OS testing. While it was not possible to determine if we were one of those apps, the suggestion was that we would be best off to resubmit a new 3.0-ready application.
Accordingly, we resubmitted the FirstClass Mobile Client on the 19th of June. The new client has a few bug fixes, and even better has full support for the new Apple Push Notification Service, which is absolutely amazing. I find that I get notifications to my iPhone within about 2 seconds, on average. It rocks!
Now, there is some even better news: testing is taking place! That's right. Last week Apple logged in to their test account for about 8 minutes, followed by a further two minutes this week!
So, clearly we're making progress. We have not heard any feedback yet (either positive or negative) but of course we will keep you informed as soon as we hear anything.
