This is a pretty good interview from Scoble (yeah, I find him quite annoying too but he does give a good interview).
The app itself is a definite WANT for me, having been at Portsmouth uni for just over a week now and definitely needing a better way to find buildings, rooms and other information. The UX looks really neat too, especially the 'windows' concept shown on the iPad app.
We use Blackboard software at Portsmouth and unfortunately it's shockingly bad - doesn't work in anything but IE, hides things in odd places, has terrible UX, looks ugly. But I think we must be using an old version as I had a look at the website and it shows a much nicer UI. It also sound like the app maker is more of an acquisition than an original Blackboard product.
It's good to know that there's some innovation in the education space of new tech.
