You could install your development environment on a remote server
und work on that server via SSH. Edit your code with emacs (or vim,
nano, whatever) and run your tests on the remote server. Use iPad's
Safari to test your JavaScript and CSS :)
It's certainly not comfortable but it is doable!
No, but Rails is not a lone wolf there either. You couldn't develop
Java, .NET, … apps, even Objective-C apps on an iPad without some sort
of remote environment either. I don't know what's available on a
jailbreaked one, but even there I wouldn't get my hopes up all too
much. You'd basically need to be able to install a full runtime
environment on the tablet, I don't see that happening.
It is certainly possible to write some code on an iPad, either through
SSH or a dedicated editor like Textastic or Koder. In offline mode
those applications will take you as far as writing code, syntax
highlighting it and saving it locally. Actually running any of your
code is impossible. But, as has been said, especially with all the
Rails generators (although you could just create and define those
files by yourself), it's not going to be your fulltime development
machine. For some small code fixes or an HTML/CSS mockup on the road
or in the couch at night, the iPad could be a valid options.
