Since its an iPad it runs on the OSX/IOS operating system family. RDSS runs on windows. You would have to install a software based Windows emulator on it. They cost around $100. I used to run an emulator called Parallels on my desktop iMac years ago and it ran Windows applications very well, but I never tried RDSS on it. I run RDSS on a Windows 10 Surface Pro 4 tablet currently and it works great, never a problem.

Also you would have to purchase Windows itself that would have to be installed on the emulators partition. So cost wise your talking maybe and extra $300-$400 to do this. That why I just went to a windows based tablet for RDSS even though I'm an iMac user. Less of a hassle. The surface pro is a great tablet, and cards convert/load like lightning on the solid state drive.

Ted can give you more info on it.

Thanx Bill S wow I had no idea and definite do not want to add all these other things to run RDSS so IPAD is out

So are the "Android" tablets and "Fire" tablets also a non starter regarding running RDSS without add ons?

I definitely will check out the one you mention from Microsoft though I was really hoping to get away from Windows
