Nah. It makes no sense to make an app for something that shouldn't need an app. Based upon your linked footage, I see a couple of apps on the screen with badges already on there. If I already see it, wouldn't I just press the badge instead of having to tap on a different app to see it?
The swiping to your left is a fuctional way of seeing notifications, but I'd also wonder if we can scroll that section up or down for more info.
I feel the only way to change the notification system is to fundamentally change how iOS works somewhere in the plumbing. It will be unique in it's own way, but not foreign to anyone once the revamped system makes it out into the public. I am hoping iOS 5 changes it, but really suspect 6 will hit it off.
