I have some experience with a comparable product, my music interval practice 
application, Clarion:

I wasn't selling it for long before I realized not only is this true, but the 
odds of a professor assigning for purchase any application that is not 
cross-platform for Mac/PC is almost zero.

It's getting to the point now however, where iPhones may be getting so 
ubiquitous among college-age kids, that a professor could at least "strongly 
recommend" the purchase of an iPhone app that is conducive to a class.

So in summary, if I was going to try targeting the formal higher education 
market again, I would probably aim for the iPhone first, or else plan from the 
start to have a cross-platform desktop solution.
