AT&T has finally announced a tethering plan for the iPhone as well as new plans for data packages in general (replacing the old ones for NEW customers). More info here:

What I want to know is this:
Will I be able to tether my iPad to my iPhone? This seems like a no-brainer and a perfect example of Apple technology working together, but will undoubtedly be blocked by the money-hungry suits at AT&T hoping users pony up for TWO data plans. I hope I’m wrong.
UPDATE:
AT&T claims you won’t be able to tether the iPad through an iPhone, but that the issue is not contractual. Instead, it’s a limitation of how Apple has blocked the bluetooth PAN profile on the iPad.
Much like how MyWi continues to be the main reason people are willing to jailbreak their iPhone, I can see this being a damn good reason to jailbreak an iPad since given the choice between the two, I’d rather jailbreak a device that isn’t tied to a contract and that I don’t count on to make calls, etc.
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.
