iOS 4.3 personal hotspot feature confirmed

While we were still mulling over the question as to why GSM iPhones lack the personal hotspot feature, here we play the role of being a Verizon iPhone. Of course, the mobile carriers will have to do their part by supporting this feature, so when it comes to AT&T, this might not happen overnight. The more customer friendly (read: lenient ) carriers might just be pleased to know about this status update, since it allows users to hook up to 5 devices via Wi-Fi to the iPhone’s data connection. So far, we have found out that the version will be 8F5148b, sporting a baseband of 04.08.00, and technical acceptance is currently being worked out during March. Time to break out the champagne, right?
