You're referring to WiFi tethering, and No, it is not available on the stock software.
Current:
Phone: T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999)
ROM: Official stock JB from T-Mobile
Recovery: Stock

Tablet: Acer Iconia A500
ROM: CM10 Jelly Bean 4.1 by waydownsouth
Recovery: Thor's 1.7 Touch Recovery of CWM

If I do not Thank your thread, it's because of the XDA Classic forum theme, sorry...

WiFi Tether for Root is the app you are looking for. Once a root "hack" is released for the phone a lot of fun stuff will be happening including aftermarket ROMs (such as Cyanogen, my favorite rom for my G1) and other cool root-required apps.

I use an app called easytether and it is working just fine. It has you download an app to your phone and install software on your PC and then it walks you through the setup process. it is working great on my netbook. I have a friend with a non-rooted phone also and is using PDAnet free version and is same process as above but he said is working great on his phone with that app too. just a couple options without root.

You'll have to wait till root or the froyo update (wonder what'll come first) to tether to your ipod
