Push It with Aerogear
"Push it real good", Aerogear is here with its new UnifiedPush Server and SimplePush Server. Mobile application developers have historically had to rely on relatively expensive hosted solutions for sending push notifications to APNs (Apple Push Notification service) and GCM (Google Cloud Messaging). Now there is a open source Java solution for sending native push notifications from your server to iOS and Android devices.
The Aerogear team has not only created the server engine but also the client SDKs for iOS, Android and JavaScript as well as an Administration Console to help you get up and running quickly.
Download the server, read through the documentation, check out the sources on github and visit the Aerogear team on IRC at #aerogear irc.freenode.net
