Hi everyone, Suddenly I became user of ipad2 without 3g, and I was wondering if I could use nokia n9 as a bluetooth modem. Is there any way to enable DUN profile on the phone for ipad2?

The N9 comes with Joikuspot software preinstalled. So you could use the N9 as wireless access point for your iPad2 (if the iPad2 supports adhoc WiFi connections).

Confirmed that the iPad2 does support adhoc networking and can get online using the N9's Joikuspot connection.

Now if only I could say the same about my Nook Tablet...

Thanks, but I know about Joikuspot, I have used this software, but I want bluetooth DUN. I think bluetooth is using less battery then wifi.

I doubt that the amount of data that you are dealing with, bt tethering would save you anymore battery than wifi tethering would

I don't think so. They're both battery drainers.
Does the iPad2 support Bluetooth DUN at all?

It should work, if you check this:

In the comments people got it to work with Nokia 2700!
Not sure if the ipad uses DUN or PAN...
