How do you wake up an iPhone user???

[Greg Pangrazio]

The only drawback to the android version is that your nagios server
has to be publically accessable.  Mine is not and so those do not
work.  I did set up a test server and was pretty happy with the
results.

I have not used the iPhone version.
