Jobs Says No Tethering iPad To iPhone

Posted by kdawson on from the wi-fi-should-be-good-enough-for-anyone dept.

tugfoigel writes "Anyone who currently owns an iPhone and was hoping they would be able to use it as a mobile Web access point for a Wi-Fi iPad just got some bad news. Reportedly, Steve Jobs has said this will not happen. Swedish blog Slashat.se claims they e-mailed Jobs directly to ask him whether or not you'd be able to tether your iPad and iPhone and received a terse 'No' in reply. According to the report, the email headers made it plausible that the reply had come from Jobs's iPhone."

    Linux "just works" unless you have unsupported hardware.

    Really? In that case I have yet to find any supported hardware...
