Notifications to iOS, Android, BlackBerry from a Rails app

Question

I have a rails application and I would like to send notifications to users on their mobile. I only need simple text notifications, but I can't afford to write an application for any operating system.

Is there any simple way to do that? (gem, third-party services)

Answer 1

I created a gem in order to create a central push notifications, it supports iOS and Android at the moment, but i will add more platforms.

Maybe this will help you, its a single gem that makes iOS an Android at the moment, and its fairly easy to implement
