non-hybrid Web apps can only use SimplePush?

I'd use the native Push APIs (GCM / APNs), for my iOS/Android Cordova variants.

You can use our SimplePush libraries, with Cordova. But.... you would NOT receive a notification, if the application is not running/open


SimplePush is perfect, right now, for "Mobile Web", and would be fine for Cordova, where we do (yet) support the native bindings (e.g. BlackBerry, Windoze etc)

Thanks, that makes sense.

I'll keep this in mind for the next iteration and think about how we want to represent Cordova in these categories (if at all, perhaps it's a client implementation detail).
