If it did the cable would cost 100 bucks

Windows Phones can share a 3G connection over WiFi.

I love fresh pumpkin pie with unsweetened whipped cream. Mmmn....

This is sad. ADD TETHERING YOU BASTARDS!

According to a one-word reply from Steve Jobs in response to an email sent by Swedish website Slashat.se, there will be no way to tether a 3G connection from Apple's iPhone.

I'm curious - what was the one word? "No?" "Nej?" Or something more colorful?

Fail.

[citation][nom]Honis[/nom]It should be noted the iPad will be able to tether to Verizon's Palm Pre Plus or the Sprints Palm Pre (through a third party homebrew app). I'll also mention that you can tether multiple wifi devices at once.[/citation]

Yeah no one cares because the iPad sucks.

Seriously, is anyone even going to buy an ipad? Why would you buy such a limited device. Why would I buy this if I already have an iphone, or any other smartphone, that i can tether to a small form factor pc like a netbook.

ipad is the right idea, but wrong implementation. I want a computer with touchscreen about that size that lets me do whatever I want it to do, not just what Jobs decides.

App Store sucks... 95% of apps on it are crap and are not even worth the $0.99 you need to pay for them. Apps that have been free on PDA devices for decades now cost money, or force you to sacrifice a quarter inch of screen to google ads.

Oh sure, there are a few amazing applications out there, but I can count them on my fingers.

This is the Apple "revolution".
