ATT has confirmed that after March 11 (iOS update 4.3) iPhones running in ATT network should be able to support wifi tethering and allowing other devices to use ATT network through iPhone as wifi modem.
The addition was expected as Apple announced the same for ipad 2 during its launch. The iOS 4.3 update unlock it for the all the iPhone 4 devices.
Steve Jobs was back on stage at the Apple’s event today and introduced the iPad 2 with iOS 4.3. iPad 2 will be available from march 11, and so do iOS 4.3.
The new iPad gets a dual core A5 processor which has 2 times faster output and 9 times better graphical output, it also gets Video camera. iPad 2 gets even thinner than iPhone 4 at 8.3 mm (from current 13.4 mm) thin. The new iPad is also weighs 30% less from the original one.
The iPad 2 is priced exactly same as the original and extracts 10 hrs battery life out the device and a month of standby. Apple also introduced a splitter cable allowing HDMI output while charging the iPad all at the sametime.
Also on the show was a cover launched for the iPad2 which can be folded and used like a stand and protects/cleans the screen.
The much anticipated iPad 2 is going be introduced on March 2 at an Apple event, but there has been several speculations and rumours, starting with delay in production to iOS 5. But lets not get too ambitious on this.
Well one thing which is almost confirmed is the impending announcement about iPad 2 on March 2 event, after the not so obvious invitation sent to journalists last week.
The following are some of the most expected additions/upgrades
– Certainty is an upgraded processor in the lines of iPhone 4 (ARM).
– Higher resolution , but Retina eye display might be a stretch , but lets see if Apple surprises.
– No 7 inch iPad for now.
– Front facing camera
– CDMA addition to support Verizon.
We might get some new features but at the end of the day Apple could just add the Verixzon support and just lay out a
plan for 2011 just like they have mentioned in the invite.
