[R] R, RStudio, and a server for my iPad.

[John Sorkin]

Hadley,
Thank you for the clarification! This is too bad as I had thought that given that RStudio server followed a web-based rather than a client-server paradigm that I could use my iPad to access an RStudio server and thus have access to R. Perhaps I wasted a loot of  $$$$ on my iPad . . .

You can not type _anything_ into Rstudio if you connect to it on the
ipad. In other words, Rstudio is not currently usable on the ipad.
