Prowl

Available on the App Store

Prowl is the Growl client for the iPhone OS. Notifications from your Mac or Windows computer are sent to your iPhone or iPod touch using push. Prowl has an extensive API, which allows your scripts to integrate beautifully.

Probably the best $3 I’ve ever spent in the App Store. Darrell Etherington, The Apple Blog
