easyAPNS is an open source (free) system for sending Apple’s push notifications to a device. From their website:
What is Easy APNs?
If you are a native iPhone application developer, you may have heard of the Apple Push Notification service (APNs). There are a lot of excellent online guides on how to get your application to receive remote notifications… but what about the other piece of the puzzle… ACTUALLY SENDING A MESSAGE?!?!
This very cool project is brought you by Manifest Interactive.
*NOTE: I was NOT able to get this up and running on GoDaddy Hosting for some unknown reason, but the same exact files worked flawlessly on (mt) MediaTemple

Creator of EasyAPNs here. I’ve been working on something new for Mobile Developers and figured I would let you know since you are also making mobile apps.
I have a new Open Source project called Socketbug. You can check it out at http://socketbug.com
What’s it do you ask? Developing a Mobile Web Application? Wish you could do stuff like View the Source Code? Debug the Javascript? Execute your own Javascript remotely? With Socketbug You Can!
