as long as your list is small urban airship provides a decent service.
we were spending too much on them so we wrote our own. :)

i coworker wrote a stand-alone (not web2py) push server for a project - but
that's cause we are running our web2py on GAE and you can't create persistent
connects to the APNS.
i'm not sure how to keep the connection open between requests in a web2py
instance. i suspect you'd have to have a long running process that collects
tasks from a queue to send notifications. (though if you only send 1 push per
hour it's probably ok to make a new connection each time).
It might be more convenient to use a third-party http-to-apns bridge.
http://urbanairship.com has a basic plan with quite a bit of free volume. There
others, I believe.
good luck!

I can send an email from within web2py but am wondering if anyone has attempted
to send an IOS notification and if so any pointers would be very helpful.
