Startup Develops iPhone Apps for Universities

A small startup, called TerriblyClever, is testing out a suite of applications aimed at universities that, if it becomes widespread, might make the Apple handhelds an indisposable tool for college students. The app is being given a trial run at Stanford University and is appropriately (and unoriginally) called iStanford. It consists of five tools that allow students to add and drop classes, plan a schedule, pay bills, look up contact info in the school directory, find locations on a campus map, and get up-to-date scores from school sports teams.
TerriblyClever hopes to expand its list of client schools and its suite of apps over the ensuing months. This could also be a great delivery method for news about class cancellations and campus alerts. Much better than the text message based CUNY (City University of New York) system which sends out useless messages like:
"FRM:NY-Alert Administrator(that is not a typo)
SUBJ:NY-Alert
MSG:CUNY Alert:College of Staten Island aΔ"
