Steve Jobs Confirms iPhone Cannot Tether With iPad
Comments

Why would you think it could be? That means they would sell less of the 3G version! DUH!

Yeah, that would fall right in line with Apple's usual marketing strategy. Still though, as a Mac convert, one of my favorite things about my new MacBook is how everything works together so seamlessly.

MyWi is great I have it on my iPhone and there is no way it can't work. I've actually locked on the network on another iphone (iPhone to iPhone) so it should be great. Also its pure 3G network not dumbed down by the iPHone so you can hit some decent speed on my macbook using it. About the battery, I simply purchased the Richard solo battery pack which has 2 full charges and that puppy won't let your iPhone die under any circumstance so Im assuming that I will find a nice case I can stick the iPhone and Battery pack in and enjoy. Keep in mind there are still many wifi hubs so you won't be consistently running from your iPhone whenever you need to use the internet! :D

If you have a jailbroken iPhone you can use MyWi to turn your iphone into a wifi hotspot, which you can then use your iPad to connect to that hotstop. And VOILA! you have tethered your iPad and iPhone successfully. It might not be blazing fast but it should work.

'No': What a dick of a reply. Someone get send a book on etiquette to this anorexic prick.

Lets hop you don't need a liver transplant! Fucking knob

So you attribute Jobs' one-syllable response to his liver transplant? Nice logic, bird-brain!

No, it was a response to your comment 'anorexic prick'!

The point I was trying to make was that, a man of his status should at least have the courtesy to write back in style instead of a one-syllable 'No'. People look up to this guy for inspiration but instead of inspiring, he's au contraire, in my opinion.

The iPad doesn't need to be jailbroken (though it will, only matter of time) to make this happen... the iPhone is already able to create a wifi network from its 3G data connection with the help of a jailbroken app (forget the name, but it was talked about recently). There is nothing in the iPad to stop it from connecting to this (apparently normal) wifi hotspot.

It is called MyWi and it is great, i have it on my iphone 2g but it supports all models.

This is not oficial,just a bad rumor

It is exactly whats' Jason was speaking about : MyWi on a jailbroken iPhone is a hotspot Wifi, so iPad could connect to it and use its modem without any jailbreak of the iPad.
