Following its much anticipated launch, businesses and workers might be disappointed to find out that the iPad will not be open to iPhone tethering.
Now questions are being raised over whether the Wi-Fi only version of the iPad will be a threat to the iPhone or not.
CEO of Apple Steve Jobs assures potential customers that it won't, however people who buy the iPad won't be able to use their iPhone 3G connection for internet access at work or on the go.
Tethering enables businesses and customers to use a smartphone as a mobile broadband dongle to get internet access.
People considering buying the iPad when it's released here later on this year are now being told they will need a separate dongle of Mi-Fi unit to access the web.
