Not yet.

It's still on the roadmap: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/roadmap.html

We need channel api, too.
Please release this feature.
Thanks.

I imagine that the Google engineers have already finished it. They
were just not aware that anybody wanted it. Now that they know there
is interest and demand I'd expect to see it released any day....

if u check ur SDK folder, the channel code is already there,
not sure if it runs ok or not, maybe u can try running it on dev env by looking at the help info provided in the code

C:\Program Files\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\api\channel

cheers !

To add to Jamie's comment, I think that there are a lot of people who
don't strictly need the channel API, but could use it for lots of new
and innovative features/apps if given the choice. I know that I would
build a lot of apps with the channel API which could really showcase
GAE's utility.

Server push is hard to implement anywhere, but Google has implemented
it successfully. If Google puts it in their platform, I believe it can
be a marquee feature for them and can unlock a whole new class and
quality of apps on the web.

Actually I was being sarcastic. I'm pretty sure Google knows there is
a great demand for this and they'll release it as soon as they can.

This is absolutely not true. We have access to limited list of
developers who can test Channel API. And I'm reading every message in
testers mail list. As I can see there is a lot of cases where API
don't work as expected. It's not stable yet, but Moishe doing a lot of
work to complete it.

Also, it looks cool.
