Last week a story made its way around the blogosphere that Steve Jobs answered an email. Our pals at TiPb covered the iPad tethering question<\/a>, originally from 9to5Mac<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

First, the question from Jezper Söderlund:<\/p>\n

\n

Will the wifi-only version [of the iPad] somehow support tethering thru my iPhone?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And the answer?<\/p>\n

\n

No.<\/em><\/p>\n

We thought it might be appropriate to send another email:<\/p>\n

\n

Dear Steve:<\/em><\/p>\n

Will the wifi-only version [of the iPad] somehow support tethering through Mobile Hotspot on the Palm Pre Plus? Wait, don’t answer that, we <\/em>already know that it will<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Love, PreCentral<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

…of course, we’ll be paying $40 per month for the privilege<\/a>, but hey, it’s there. While we’re on the subject, we’ll note that webOS 1.4 seems to have busted up the hack<\/a> to get the Verizon-only Mobile Hotspot app working on Sprint – the hackery required now is epic<\/a>, to say the least. Win some, lose some – but for Verizon Palm Pre Plus owners thinking about the iPad, we’ll chalk it up as a win.<\/p>\n
