iPad: Can the iPad update its OS without having a computer to download and interface for it?

Question by Fuzzy: iPad: Can the iPad update its OS without having a computer to download and interface for it?
I have the iTouch. When a new OS comes out, it is downloaded via the iTunes program and uploaded into the iTouch via the iTunes program. It does not to my knowledge have the ability to upgrade its own OS.

Is the iPad also dependent on a “mother” computer and iTunes on that computer to update its OS?

Best answer:

Answer by HondaMan
I have 2 iPhones and an iPod and have used iTunes for about 6 yrs now. You are only able to get software updates via syncing with iTunes. As far as I know it is only possible to update apps from the device itself- although you can also do that through iTunes, too. So to answer your question specifically… YES… you need iTunes for Mac or PC- they’re both free 🙂 Hope this helps!
