Steve Jobs Said That The iPad Won't Tether To The iPhone

One Apple's Swedish fan e-mailed to Steve Jobs directly to ask whether iPad will be able to tether with iPhone and the Apple's CEO answer was "NO".  The mail is as follow.

" 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' answer?

No.
