iPad(WiFi)可以經由Tethering 使用iPhone的3G網路嗎? Jobs曰:「No.」

根據9to5Mac的消息,在瑞典的Jezper寫了一封email給Apple CEO,Steve Jobs。問到了iPad(WiFi版)可不可以經由Tethering 來使用iPhone的3G網路。以下是信件全文:



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]


Jobs這次也回了信,一樣是遵從極簡主義的超短回答:





No.


Sent from my iPhone






附帶一提,Jobs的iPhone OS還是跟上次一樣沒升級,依然是3.1.2。



理論上這作法因該是ok的,不過有可能是考慮到電信商方面的限制,或是真的全地球只有瑞典沒辦法這樣做。



比較黑暗的說法,就是Apple希望大家都去買WiFi+3G版,每月乖乖繳iPad的通信費給AT&T(或是說各國電信商),好讓Apple能歡樂抽成XD。
