Sending notifications from the AdminUI will make UPS attractive to users which are not developers and don't have technical knowledge (business users, CRM departments etc) <BR>

over the weekend I spoke w/ a friend: His company is doing some mobile (iOS/Android) apps which also support receiving push notifications.

The company build a simple console (PHP) which allows them to send new push messages, when ever their customers want to.<BR>

I showed them our UnifiedPush Server and its usage via our AeroDoc example (iOS / backend). They really liked the UnifiedPush Server. Especially that it does store all the device metadata.

But since a lot of their mobile apps don't have a backend requirement, they would still have to use their own console (which than connects to UPS) for submitting all the push messages they want.<BR>

This brings me to [AGPUSH-38] and I really think we should implement that feature. Not only for sending test messages! If our UnifiedPush Server allows its users to simple send push messages to all of their mobile apps, it would make the server even more attractive.

I regret a bit that I was against [AGPUSH-38] in the beginning, I guess that's due to my Java enterprise background, where you typically find complex setups, and server talk to servers :-(

Anyways, now I really think that the UPS has to have such a 'send push' facility inside of the Admin UI :-) I believe that we could reach way more potential users with something like that
