Hopefully it will work on the new iPad, but it allows people on the same Wifi network to easily share their notes with each other. This seems ideal for the classroom, even if it doesn't allow for visual notes like symbols and drawings as Dan has suggested. Hopefully those features will be added.

Some subjects, mostly the sciences just can't be confined to text notes only. I'm thinking of OChem, Biochem. I would like to have all of my notes on one device instead of having them spread across paper and digital formats.
