Vim is for coding. How does this work out on the iPad?
Does one edit remote files locally, and compile/run remotely? (the benefit is the editing feels instant - no keystroke latency.)
Or has Apple let up on the "no coding for you!" iPad/iPhone terms? (I thought they would eventually, once their dev environment is firmly established - and they'll have to, if/when they adopt iOS on their {lap,/desk}tops - but maybe today is not yet that day. iOS devices sell macs as dev machines)

With a bluetooth keyboard and a charging dock or a stand, iPad is a great platform for Vim coding.

With Dropbox support this would be possible.
Or has Apple let up on the "no coding for you!" iPad/iPhone terms?
There is no such term. The term used to be that you cannot bundle a compiler with your app, but even that has been lifted recently with Lua interpreter embedded in many games.
Can even connect to an Amazon instance or similar. There was a submission a while back about someone who did this for a month (IIRC), but the editor was on the remote machine.
