Thanks Curtis,

This I knew already, as the Kindle forums are in advanced freak out mode. I was asking if there was something else other than this. I already knew about the cost of doing biz with the "international" version Kindle.

I understand. I'm only familiar with the $2 fee for roaming outside of the U.S. (excluding Mexico, Japan, Hong Kong)

I'm pretty sure it won't happen, but there's nothing to stop AT&T offering a deal with a free secondary sim so that same contract covers both devices.

As someone has previously stated, Apple "do not own the pipes", this seems to be a carrier decision, not Apple's.

while it is true that apple does not own the pipes, they DO sell the faucet. while canadian carriers officially allowed tethering, iphone users had no access to it until apple allowed via iphone 3 (i think). the fact that netshare got pulled from the canadian itunes store at the same time as it was in the us was clearly apple's decision, and was justified with being in violation with at&t's terms. that didn't make a lot of sense outside of the US.

Most people who want tethering wants it because their carrier don't charge for it.
The 3G model does not require a contract. It is a month by month plan.

Yes, there IS a difference: If someone pays to tether their phone, it's so they can share the internet connection with their devices. Device(S) PLURAL lol. As in anything with wifi. The ipad isn't the only thing they can tether.

Bending over and accepting this ridiculous bs is fundamentally the biggest difference between Apple die-hards and tech geeks. What business is it of Steve Jobs to govern such a thing? This is the type of nonsensical control Apple demonstrates that normal rationally thinking people hate.

I really don't have anything to complain about personally since I can setup a wifi hotspot with my non-Apple phone, and the ipad will connect to it as any other wifi hotspot, but for people to sit here and try and justify such obvious bs is just typical. People around here don't hold Apple to the standard they need to.

So a person pays for tethering on their phone plan, but now the master overlord Steve Jobs says they'll need to pay extra to get 3g on their ipad. This is just another one of those times that I'm so glad I didn't buy a phone from that asshole.

So really this is a matter of debating whether or not the ipad is more like a laptop (or netbook) or more like a phone restricted to a service plan.

I'm still in this CRAZY state of mind that the ipad is supposed to be more like a computer. It's got wifi, which means for me it can have internet through my unlimited plan with Sprint (no, not limited to 5gb, trust me.)

So far the most viable argument for not supporting tethering through the iphone (when someone pays for it) is that both devices will drain, but this is SUCH a weak argument. It's not up to Jobs to tell anyone they shouldn't drain their devices.

This is all just so retarded.

Dude. You are speaking my language. I feel exactly as you do even though I do not have to pay for tethering. My operator thinks is natural as all data is data. Anyway, while I did by a phone from the guy who is truly showing that he is becoming an asshole, I have to thank Nokia for being the missing link that allows my Apple devices to connect while AT&T doesn't when I travel. By the way, the tethering is controlled by AT&T as far as I can tell. When I bought my iPhone, it tethered the same day. No special config files from the operator as far as I can tell. THey did send one when they unlocked it.

I am doing that right now. I have one data plan and two phones (Nokia N86) and an iPhone on it. One number, two SIM cards, one data plan.

AT&T simply sucks and will rape you for as long as you let them.

It is not wrong for AT&T to make money. It is only fair. It is the way they go about it that is the problem.

I don't understand how people can go from Apple choosing not to include a feature they don't wish to code for and support to Jobs directly telling them what they can and can't do with their devices. Before it's YOUR device, it's Apple's device and they have the right to make it the way they see fit, just as we have the right not to buy it if it doesn't suit our needs. There will plenty of other tablets coming down the line now that Apple has seemingly created a viable tablet market. Why not just hold out for a tablet running Android or just buy an Android phone so you can turn on cellular sharing over WiFi without the carrier's knowledge?

As for the iPad being a "more like a computer", that couldn't be farther from the truth. Nothing has made it appear like a PC, which was a major issue for many posters here... until this news came out. You can't really have it both ways. It uses iTunes to sync, there is no way to use Time Machine to back it up independently, and the highest priced model is below the cost of the cheapest MacBook and you can't sync an iPod or iPhone to it because it only has an iPod app, not iTunes in it. For better or worse, they've clearly positioned the iPad as an accessory device for your computer.

I bought this toaster? And it doesn't have that "Bagel" button that toasts just one side? And some other toasters do?

So the manufacturer of that toaster is attempting to forbid me from having bagels. So they're totalitarian monsters.

Apple sells one of the many data exchangers available from AT&T.

The iPad's new deal is clear that Apple now has more leverage, but they don't dictate the exchangers and thus tell AT&T how to run it's backbone.

It's an ipad dude, it's going to be cooler than anything else. It's just a shame, ya know? I was playing with the iphone just yesterday in an apple store and it's so smooth and runs so great, but this idea that Apple wants to control the content of the phone is just so bizarre to me. Apple wants to control everything, and hold your hand every step of the way. That's not for me! I want Apple's performance without their babysitting (does that make sense?)

Either way, you're right to label it an accessory for a computer. I need to drill it into my brain the ipad is exactly that. It still doesn't stop me from scratching my head in wondering how Jobs could think it's any of his business to tell iphone users what they can and can't tether, especially since it's supposed to be a wifi device. What difference does the connection source make?

Oh well, I won't comment anymore on this. It's really none of my business to voice out like a jerk about it since I don't even own an iphone

More like, I bought this toaster that makes absolutely PERFECT toast, and is capable of making the most brilliant fucking bagels on earth, but in order to squeeze more money out of me, the manufacturer of that toaster has taken out that feature for absolutely no reason, even though it's more than capable of handling it perfectly.

Why not?

As long as I am not using both devices at the same time I don't see what the problem is.

If ATT can get away with this for iPhones and iPads I don't see why other companies can't charge for multiple devices. What if the ISPs started to charge for internet access per computer? If someone has three computers in their home they would have to pay three plans for internet access.

I really don't see a difference.

No matter what one's view, isn't the idea of a forum to discuss ideas in a mature and respectful manner without fanboys or kool-ade getting brought up? I don't need this iPad to come loaded with everything on the first go-round. I can wait for a do-all product to eventually evolve after all of the issues of an emerging UI/form factor get worked out. Being black or white is needing this thing to do everything under the sun....even though the company who conceived and designed it didn't intend it that way. That includes tethering, USB/FW ports, SD card slots, Flash, camera, etc.

The iPad is never going to be capable of satisfying everyone's needs, especially first generation, but that's not going to keep it from selling 10's of MILLIONS.

Why ask a question if you already know the answer?

The answer I gave was in Finnish, it suggested a search which leads to the answer you already knew.

Australia not being part of the US has the International version of the Kindle, so people here pay $US2 more per book to cover "the cost of doing biz" as you put it and as I posted before.

The same idiots who connect multiple devices to their unlimited local telephone connection. the same idiots who connect several TVs to their unlimited cable TV connection. And finally, the same idiots who connect several devices to their unlimited home internet connection.

Those idiots are surprised that they cannot hook up another device to their already "unlimited" ATT data connection.

Insane, indeed...
