High School
Trying to decide whether or not it would be worth having an iPad for my 15 yo for school. Did a search for high school apps and here is a great list -- sounds like it could be a great addition IF it didn't turn into a time waster:

Most of the Khan Academy videos are available for the iPhone/iPad:

Quizlet -- he uses this for going through Spanish vocabulary on his desktop but we just found he could access all that through his iPhone (also for Android):

Early Elementary
One thing we did was take an old iPod touch and put all of the music, games and a few favorite TV shows (cyberchase, Star Wars Clone Wars) that were appropriate for my 5 yo on it. I keep it in my purse and when the car rides get long or we have to wait long times at places for his older brother, I can pull it out -- and I know he won't be online or messing up my phone! Worked great on our trip across the continent last week.
Here's a great source of iPhone/iPad apps for kids...
