Matthias, also one question to you: can a single variant have multiple push networks (APNS, GCM etc) associated with it? All the examples in the spec have only a single push network associated with a "variant", so that part was not clear. </div>

<div><br></div><div>Now... with a bit more "fine tuning" (e.g. the the user/company wants to be fancy and offer specific apps (to the app-store) for iPhone/iPad or Android Tablets/Phones"), these following "variants" could exist for the "AeroGear Sports News" Push Application:</div>
<div><div>* "AeroGear Sports News for iPhone"<br></div><div>* "AeroGear Sports News for iPad"<br></div><div>* "AeroGear Sports News for iPad mini"<br></div><div>

I think the way you've done is fine.
However, if we choose this path then, I think, we need to
update the specification and ensure the REST API won't allow
multiple OS-specific variants per app, otherwise, they can't
be shown in the UI. </div>

It can be a long list and we probably will have to add pagination

It was to to select applications and perform actions on them. I

Yes, I've added some paragraphs to make things more friendlier, but
