Was there really ever any doubt that it wouldnt support tether officially? Apple communism at its best.

Fuk steve jobs im never buyin An Apple product agaín .. After i had a bad experience with 4 iPhones cause they didnt want to charge im never going Back there agaín . They told me at the apple store my iPhone did not have insurance which it did. They didn't want to replace it ugh it was such a mess until they finally checked n saw that I did had insurance and even though it had insurance they still wanted me to pay $199 to replace it I obviously did not pay also WTF the iPhone does not have flash which I think I stupid cause i mean cmon were in the 21th century alot of websites require adobe flash player.. So I switched to a droid from verizon and I'm a happy man I have flash player . N I also get better reception and better call quality than I ever did with AT&T .

From what I understand, you can actually get insurance for iPhones through certain homeowner's insurance policies if you claim it as property. That's it though. Great article though. Just another reason to not have an Apple product :D

if you want to use your home owners insurance to insure your iphone, your basically looking at a $1000 deductible, if not then about $500. That is insane for a cell phone, why would anyone do that unless they have 5 of them in the house.

this is the thing with ipads and iphones. i hate them... ALMOST as much as i hate ATT and i STILL read the damm article. wtf. victim of the media i assume. they could have just said it would not teather. im sure we all knew this before we even oppened the page. and like evewrything else, someone will come out with a hack to do it.

Dont worry the ipad will be jailbroken eventually and you will be able to tether with it.

God forbid any of these meglomaniacs do anything that makes sense. Pretty soon this psycho is going to make all Apple products not for sale to the human race because we're not worthy.

every other phone in the world does and you can get it on a better network so how about an android powered phone.

you can tether the ipad just not with the iphone i am positive. All you need is wireless tethering through wifi.

You should be able to wifi to like the Palm Pre Plus or Pixi Plus. I know palm has that app. As for IPhone, I am not sure if it has an app that allows it to be a mobile hotspot. Otherwise, just buy a MiFi from Verizon and there you go. :-)

Apple makes quality products and they are good at making money...I think that tethering would basically nullify the 3G iPad...We will see how all of this plays out...I'd like to see an iPhone that has MiFi capabilities...I am still not convinced about the iPad yet we will see come April. But I cant wait to tell all my friends getting iPhones now "Told Ya So" come June when an updated and improved model is released...lol...Still not sure if I will be getting it...

Just get an android phone, root it, then install wifi tether. Easy as that
