Sounds fun. iOS? Android? Are you willing to disable the lock screen password? Is another PC or server running 24/7 to push shit to the tablet when the time is right?
I've seen similar things done with arduino or raspberry pi with a screen.

Android, yes, no. Would I need a server? I honestly don't know a thing about those type of things, I was honestly just assuming that there'd be some sort of program or app that would atleast make it so it boots directly to a gallery of saved qoutes or something. Ideally it'd be connected to some sort of website. Any directions you could lead me in so I have an idea of where to start?

Yeah I'd imagine that some sort of app like this exists. The whole turn on at a certain time part might be difficult. Here's a start?

An app that loads up a web page on alarm sounds pretty cool, so you can jump into a video or a slideshow or whatever.
