Please do not confuse iOS with Cisco IOS.

The update appears to be available to Canadian customers as well. I'm looking forward to trying the personal WiFi zone. Update: Nay-nay! The update is available for my iPad but not for my iPhone 3G. Bah.

It was known ahead of time that the 3G was not going to be getting the new update and would be made obsolete by Apple.

Personal hotspot works perfectly. Actually, even better than perfectly since it's activated on my iphone without me paying anything extra for it. Very nice.

It looks like it doesn't work on 3GS. I wonder if there's any technical limitation preventing it to work or just a marketing strategy.

As a jailbreak developer: there is not.

Doesn't it? It is present on mine, but when I click to set it up, it tells me to contact my carrier to enable it on my account, so I haven't tested it.

Is the iOS 4.3 upgrade not going to come out for the iPod Touch 3rd gen? Isn't this the same hardware generation as the iPhone 3GS that is supported by 4.3? Does anyone know?

The update readme that comes up in iTunes says:

    Products compatible with this software update:

    - iPhone 4 (GSM model)

    - iPhone 3GS

    - iPad

    - iPod touch (4th generation)

    - iPod touch (3rd generation)

Do you need an active tethering subscription with your carrier (in my case, AT&T) to use the personal hotspot feature?

I believe the tethering hotspot is only available on the iPhone 4. (ie, not even on the 3GS even though that is a supported model)

But keep in mind, the 3rd Gen iPod touch only inludes the 16 & 32 GB models, and not the 8GB they sold along side it. The 8GB was really still a second-Gen iPod.
