They won't be handing out tablets at your class, you will get paper books and a couple of (microsoft-based) flash drives. Latest "estimate" on full deployment is later this year. You will have access to the Delta web almost immediately and ALL pubs can be found/downloaded there as well. They will also give you lots of help/advice/some software to help you run the stuff on an Mac (which seems like a hassle to me).
