Most universities are already using a CMS (such as moodle) for distributing class content and interactive activities - so web access is a must. A touchscreen is needed for taking notes in class and for marking up docs and texts.
Seems to me that this is quite realistic within 12 months from what I read. Price will be an issue, and availability of textbooks, and training!

Dual screens face-to-face sounds like a good concept to me, one being eink and the other a full-color LCD touchscreen. Color is a must for graphs and the like, especially if we're importing content from existing physical texts.
10" screens are more than large enough--in fact, if we're not worried about a keyboard, 8" would work fine.
Also, as tirsales pointed out, much of what the OP proposes having on-board would be better handled by peripherals, and more than 30-ish GB storage is unnecessary.
