The Apple Latest creation: iPad is coming this April 3rd according to their latest ad as seen at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. The ad is all over YouTube now; Steve Jobs himself was there at the Academy Awards.

Of course it wouldn’t be fair to rate the device now; we wouldn’t know it until we get our hands on it. I have no plan to get one, but we’ll see about that… Maybe I’d better off with the 3G version; which worth mentioning the WIFI version of the iPad will be released first before the 3G version. Why? I have no idea…

Anyway, if you were hoping to get the WIFI version of the iPad and tether it to the iPhone; you can kiss your plan goodbye.

An Apple fan from Sweden sent an email to Apple about iPhone – iPad internet tethering.

This is the message that was sent:

I’ll keep it short.

I’m Jezper from Sweden, a long time Apple fan, currently about to replace the very last computer at home with a brand spanking new iMac i7. I’m also awaiting the release of the iPad. However, I have one question:

Will the wifi-only version somehow support tethering thru my iPhone?

Two devices, based on the same OS, with already built-in technology to share one data plan suggests a secondary contract could possibly be redundant.

From the look of your keynote, where the iPad sits well between my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, I was hoping the three of them could interact as seamless as possible.

All the best,
Jezper Söderlund[a famous DJ in his own right]

The email was replied by no other than Steve Jobs himself. Mr. Jobs managed to keep it simple; he got an even shorter reply from Steve Jobs:

No.

Well, this is another disappointing fact about the upcoming iPad indeed. It looks like you won’t be able to use iPhone’s 3G network on your iPad via Tethering. It works on netbooks, laptops and all other Microsoft junks but not the glorious iPad.
