Can we (also) address the following scenario without Dropbox (E.g., just pushing to an HTTP server): * With my phone I take a photo. * The photo is pushed to a server * Any clients who have asked to be notified of updates are notified * They reload and have the latest photo. That way I can take a photo with my phone and it shows up on the tv screen on the wall (after a short delay).
