According to Jobs: No iPhone-to-iPad Tethering, 10 Hour Battery Life Reaffirmed
Tethering is the process by which you can share an internet connection from a cellular device (such as the iPhone) to a non cellular device such as a notebook, or in this case an iPad. If tethering were allowed, the iPad could share the iPhone's 3G connection removing the need for purchasing wireless service on the iPad itself. The answer is not a surprise as Apple had given no indication that the iPad could service this function.
Meanwhile, Jobs has been busy answering emails as he had also responded to disbelief that the iPad's IPS display could support 10 hours of battery life in such a small form factor. To these inquiries, Jobs replied:
"... yes, we are getting 10 hours in 1.5 pounds."
Notably, in this email, he actually responded using the iPad.The iPad launches in the U.S. on April 3rd with pre-orders starting on March 12th.

Sooo much for that idea even though many of us already had a feeling you wouldn't be able to tether, although I can't see how you wouldn't be able to tether if you can make your phone into a wi-fi hotspot?

Jobs is awesome. No one else in the world at his level has the balls to just answer an email like that. Much as I wish they were officially supporting tethering, I think his answers are always hilarious and almost refreshing in their dick-ish ness.

Because no one at his office could have replied "no"?

yeah, it is comical...
Guy writes a descriptive email question and Jobs shoots it down in one word...

Oh, it's probably one of his minor lowly minions, but it's hilarious that Jobs leaves them instructions to answer his emails in this fashion. Like the earlier poster said, no other CEO in the world would dare do such a thing.
