I'm implementing a module that allows Drupal to send push notifications to the iPhone/iPod Touch.

Plan currently is to support 6.x and use the actions api similar to what twitter module has done.

Anybody interested in this? This would be a good time to make suggestions and comments.

Awesome concept. However, I'd be interested in sending notifications to my own app.

I've recently got a little bit of some push notifications going on in my drupal app. I basically took the Prowl module and customized it to directly connect to the apple push servers instead.

Yes interested. Check out Urban Airship.

No, I don't work for Urban Airship. They provide an API the you post some arguments to and they make it really easy to send push notifications from a web site. VERY cheap too. In fact, I think they offer the first X number for free.

If there were a Drupal module for Urban Airship to expose their API to the notifications & messaging frameworks that would be sweet.
