Are you asking about an existing piece of hardware? Or the WinRT surface tablet? – Tim Sep 07 '12 at 00:58

If it runs the real Windows and the thing has an x86 processor then yes. I doubt it will run on WindowsRT – zapl Sep 07 '12 at 00:58

AIDE lets you develop for Android, on Android. It runs well on most Android Tablets.
Eclipse wont run on Windows RT till it is ported, but Windows 8 on Tablets can run eclipse (and anything that runs on Windows 7) easily. So you could either go the Android way, or wait for the Surface running Windows 8.

Windows RT will only be able to run apps available via the Windows Store, the question is will the Eclipse team create a version for it?
From Wikipedia
Only software written using the Windows Runtime (Metro style apps) can be used on Windows RT with the exception of Microsoft Office 2013 and the desktop version of Internet Explorer 10. Developers will not be able to create applications to run on Windows RT using the Win32 APIs
Windows 8 Pro which runs on the Intel based CPU architecture (Ivy-Bridge) should run Eclipse and be fully backward compatible with other Windows apps.

Maybe the new Intel-based tablets (window 8) will run eclipse or I would get an UltraBook!
