Efficient use of tablets could make them an invaluable educational tool but something tells me they wouldn't bother going through the tedious process of acquiring digital versions of textbooks, assignments, reports, etc.
What worries me is that this is a largely untested area. If somebody could point me to some non-anecdotal evidence that iPads have a marked effect on student progress, then maybe the cost could be justified.
