This is a nice example of an RIA-cloud interface, but I don't really know if this gains a lot from the tablet platform. I didn't see anything that was inherently different from the same interface using a mouse.

You could easily use a mouse if you are sitting in a lecture hall or at your desk. The touch screen adds convenience if you are following your professor around a lab or hospital, etc. The underlying tech (cloud integration, human interface, etc) is what I found impressive.
