Hey Mark,
There are two problems with push:
1) Push messages are limited to 256 bytes, and if the app is not running,
the app doesn't do anything.  The user is notified, and if the user
chooses, s/he can launch the app, and then the app can do something (which
is really clunky on the other apps that I have on my devices that are
implemented this way).  So yes, it would be great if we could send the app
a command via push, but I'm not aware of that being an option yet.
2) There is no LC Push code that I am aware of, so I'm going to have to
roll my own for my desktop/server.  I know I can use and pay for some
third-party access, but I'm not interested in doing that, especially
because I essentially have to do all the work for them anyway.

And God said, "This is good."
