iPhone Internet Tethering and the iPad

Posted March 10th, 2010 by Shawn

According to a recent article on Gizmodo, an iPhone owner sent an email to Steve Jobs asking: "Will the Wi-Fi-only iPad support tethering through my iPhone?" Steve replied with a one word answer: "No."

Assuming this report is accurate, what exactly are the iPad-related implications (beyond the obvious one) of Jobs' answer? In particular, how might it affect which iPad (Wi-Fi-only vs. Wi-Fi + 3G) you should buy?

But wait! Before answering these questions, you may want answers to some more fundamental ones. Questions such as: "What is Internet tethering?"; "Why would I want to use it?"; and "Why has AT&T not yet enabled iPhone Internet tethering?"
