Not that - you could run remote sessions from the iPhone for years (there are many ways, ssh+X11, VNC, remote R GUIs, ...) we know that ;). The discussion you refer to (I guess) was about native R which is possible (we have arm support in the framework) but not distributable via Apple Store. I would still argue that it would be nice to have remote version of the R.app for the iPad but given all the other available options it's not a high priority.
