Is it verified that iPad cannot create ad hoc wifi networks?

Question

Has anyone been able to verify that the iPad cannot create an ad hoc network?

It has different radio hardware (the fact that it does 802.11n demonstrates this) than the iPhones, which I thought was the reason that the iPhones could not create WiFi networks.

I know this was sort of answered elsewhere, but I wanted it to get proper attention with its own question and by more tag coverage.

Answer 1

Just looked, and I can't see an option to create an ad hoc network anywhere on my iPad. If it's possible in the hardware, it's certainly not allowed by the software. IMO, I doubt that an app with that sort of functionality would make it through the app store process.
