What you have proposed here is absolutely correct. From what I have seen in
the spyder application, it will only work in their own viewer application
which is fine if their application is what you want to use to view the
images.
The key point, in my view, is to treat the iPad like a printer. Create your
image in a color managed environment, edit it, view, convert to profile and
then make sure you haven't damaged it too much. Then download the image to
the iPad, UNTAGGED.
I don't think most photographers understand the complexities of late binding
color management and the probability of unintended artifacts as a result of
the color transformations. Do the color management on your desktop, then
download the images. The best surprise, is no surprise....

Tom
