Apple - Can a WiFi-only Kindle connect to the internet through an iPhone?
For information about the full article “iOS 4.3 lets iPhone 4 host wifi over 3G” http://devicegadget.com/apple/ios-4-3-lets-iphone-4-host-wifi-3g/1320/ Thx.. ;)
I have an iPhone 3G with MyWi 5 on it. I can confirm that other devices such as my laptop (Sony VAIO FWIW) connects well over the WiFi hotspot of the iPhone and can access the internet but that the Kindle WiFi 6" device I also have will not connect. It seems to detect that this is a 3G wifi device rather than a WiFi network and gives me an error message saying I am not allowed to connect to devices of this type.
I dont know if the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s will enable you to connect (as they have built in WiFi hotspots in the operating system) but an iPhone 3G with MyWi 5 definitely wont. Not sure if Android devices will allow you to or not.
Hope that helps folks
