iPad 4.2 Beta 2 Adds Tethering Settings
The latest iPad iOS 4.2 Beta 2 released yesterday appears to include new tethering options in the settings (pic via Paulgrav). According to 9to5Mac, the options only appear on European carriers and do not yet appear on AT&T devices.
As best we can tell, these settings might allow you to tether your iPad 3G's internet connection to another device, such as a laptop. This means you will be able to share your iPad 3G connection with your laptop (via a USB cable). You can similarly share your iPhone's 3G connection in the same manner, though AT&T charges an additional fee to enable this service. Unfortunately for iPhone owners, this still doesn't allow you to share your iPhone's 3G with the iPad.

so, this is nice for those who own an iPad 3G only. (and not an iPhone). But at first blush it seemed like it would allow the iPhoneiPad thing, but it does not.

Just switch from your unlimited plan to Data Pro and add tethering for $20 a month. Simple.

Whenever I need to bring my iPad outside and an Internet connection is needed, I always have my iPhone with me. It is very stupid to add another 3G monthly fee to my expenses. iPad WiFi + iTether is the best option for me. I don't even have to jailbreak my iPhone and it does not drain my battery so much as MyWi.
When I saw the headline I thought that Apple had done the impossible thing to enable tethering to an iPhone :(

The 9to5mac guy was from Sweden on 3. This guy is on T-Mobile UK. Any way to know who has it and who doesn't?

Damn, I want my iPhone to share its 3G stream with my iPad. Keep waiting...
I'm not sure what's stopping Apple to add the ability for an iPad to tether to an iPhone, as the iPad is not subsidized by carriers......

Tethering a laptop thru an iPad? No, that's not cumbersome at all :rolleyes: why bother?
If the iPad could tether thru an iPhone, I'd buy one tomorrow. No way I'm paying at&t for a second data plan.
