Can you tether from an iPad2?

[XDRoX]

My grandfather needs internet and an iPad. We want to get him the least expensive one out there but it needs to be able to tether to his laptop.

Is the iPad2 able to tether without a jailbreak just like the iPad3?

Thanks

Does anyone know if the iPad2 is able to become a hotspot just like an iPad3 without a JB or additional software?

I believe that iTether charges $30.00 for the app.
