If your tablet is running the full Windows OS then you should be able to use it.

There are no plans for now for an Android IDE.

Basic4ppc (Windows Mobile) did start as a mobile IDE and it was very difficult to support both a full featured IDE and a mobile IDE.

I would be glad to pay a monthly charge to even be able to work on my app online if it were possible.

Programming or writing code on a tab is in my opinion very tedious, there's nothing like a real mouse and keyboard, however, if needed (because it makes you feel cool and fancy ) you could set a Remote Desktop session.

I already do that but I used one of my apps at a convention last year and of course I found a bug and had to do it that way, compile it, email it to myself. A little bit of a pain but it worked.

Click to expand...

You could also have a Dropbox or GDrive, etc, account, so after compiling, just drag it to that folder and BLAM! instant transfer

Possible.
I was working on a inexpensive Chinese Windows 7 (full version) tablet with 1GB RAM and 32 GB flash disk.
The protective cover had built-in USB keyboard and of course I could use the real mouse (not the real real one).

I may be odd, but I think code in my head. That can be done almost anytime, but I avoid when driving, if I can. When I sleep, I often identify errors in the code.

A text editor can be used on most any device, then copied to B4A IDE. Things like using the designer are not possible.
