I found this on Hacker News ~ The function where you can take a picture and immediately draw on it really got me.
This is amazing stuff. You can use it for streaming e-learning, collaborating over the internet (design / sharing notes).
I work at a University and teach higher math to students: It would be amazing to have one of these: Guided mini-videos explaining solutions to excercises, etc! A few months back I took a coursera course on scala, a functional programming language. The course was held by Martin Odersky - creator of scala - and in one lecture he noted that the setup for the recording took them a long time. With this thing this would not have been an issue.
Also for my research I could easily share ideas with other mathematicians around the world without having to write a full paper.
I'm creating an app with two friends of mine; mostly over skype because we live in different towns all over germany. Often we'd like to share sketches when designing parts of the interface. This would totally make our communication better.
So that's what fascinated me about this thing. I'm thrilled!
