Ruby on Rails

are you looking for the full rails stack? Or would a ruby-based MVC stack work for you? Look at http://rhomobile.com/.
I have used them in the past, and they do what you want, but its not a full rails stack, more like a ruby-mvc subset.

thanks for your reply.

I think you are right in what you say. It would be too much of a
memory hog to do such a thing.

I will have to have a dedicated server for the hosting of the RoR app.

I am building a point of sale system where the interface is html on a
tablet pc, so I was digging into my options.

May be best to just access a small linux server over wifi.
