iPad may not do tethering, reveals iOS 4.2 Beta 3
Quick Share:
When iOS 4.2 Beta 2 was rolled out, it brought with it the good news of iPad users getting the useful internet tethering support. This may no longer be the case based on 9 to 5 Mac’s findings. According to the blog, the recently rolled out iOS 4.2 Beta 3 has removed the Internet Tethering section from the APN settings page. Now that’s not the the kind of news you will want to hear particularly if you own an iPad.
Now why would Apple first provide a section to make Tethering friendly settings and then remove it. 9 to 5 Mac has a few rational explanations owing to this questionable move which are:
The most realistic reasons include Apple deciding to scrap the feature or Apple removing the feature until iOS 4.2′s official launch in November. Another possibility is that the tethering settings from beta 2 were simply a code mixup with the iPhone and the feature is not planned for a future iPad software release.
