So if you are the lucky owner of an iPad WiFi model (3G due later?) then you may be interested to know how to get mobile internet on it.

Yes there are 3G models coming but they contain the new mini sim, who knows when these will be supported by 3G carriers in NZ. Some say you should get rid of the WiFi model and that many people are already doing this in anticipation of the 3G model, I would rather extend the technology I already have and use one 3G account.

Here is how its done, you will need-

iPad

iPhone (Jailbroken)

MyWi app

Instructions on setup here-

So need need to ditch your brand new iPad, you can even use this for laptop 3G access or emergency internet sharing.
