Think about students in CS classes who already have their textbooks on their iPads but need to lug around a notebook just for some trivial coding. IMO this might be an interesting target group. HOWEVER the current language support does not really do that group justice. Add at least C, C++, Java and maybe Pascal and Basic (high school CS classes) syntax highlighting to cover a good portion of CS classes.

I would advise any CS student against tablets for the classroom.
A laptop is much more productive:
- A proper keyboard
- Ability to install whatever applications required for the classes
- No need of internet connection for software development
- Proper office like tooling for school reports
