Steve Jobs responds to email asking if the iPad will be able to tether with the iPhone

AppleInsider is reporting that a potential iPad user emailed Steve Jobs asking if the iPad will support tethering through an iPhone. Steve Jobs responded to him saying, "No."

You would think that if any phone was going to be able to tether to the iPad it would be an iPhone. Thankfully people with a Palm Pre, Pre Plus, Pixi Plus will in fact be able to tether their smartphones to the iPad. I use an app called My Tether and as you can see below, both my iPhone 3GS and my 1st generation iPhone (now a glorified iPod touch) can easily tether and allow my iPhone 3GS and 1st generation iPhone to use my Pre's WiFi to connect to the web anywhere. No 3G iPad necessary :)
