It's not fully clear from the article whether or not there's a public  
interface for viewing issues, or whether it's just an input tool, but  
it's definitely a start.  A quick google shows that there's not a  
"311" system in Boston; rather, a "mayor's hotline" that serves a  
similar purpose (http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2006/04/30/311_to_the_rescue/ 
).

It would be great if we could bring Connected Bits (the developers of  
the iPhone app) and Christopher Loh from the Boston Mayor's office  
into this discussion.
