In this case, couldn't the device just use the registration API?
Of the UnifiedPush Server? Sure!
I was just wondering if you guys are interested in this scenario as well.

IMO, its not a pure enterprise use case. I access my brokerage acct via
my ipad and browser via the same credentials.
yep, I was more saying that requiring a user in order to use a mobile app
is a bit more enterprise-like (sure: Twitter/FB are NOT enterprise), than
have no user required at all(like the mentioned sports-news-ticker).
So the brokerage could be even done on your iPad, your Android phone, your
browser, etc ;-)
