    I was wondering if anyone has successfully tethered their iPad with the blackberry 9900. I know it's possible to tether it with the iPhone but I was hoping to use my bold with it instead.

    Thanks

    Do honestly believe Apple would allow that?

    If the BB has hotspot capability, yes it could.

    LOL!!!

    Apparently yes... I've used both an HTC and a Samsung for thethering with no problems. That's an un-jailbroken ipad2 btw. You'll have to wait a couple of weeks for the jailbreak.

    Tethering and a wifi hotspot are two different things, don't get them confused...

    More like a cold day in Canada ... OS 7.1 is supposed to have wifi hot spot and should be out in the coming weeks ...

    Yes, hotspots are better and more flexible.

    Both very true statements, i was just clarifying because it seemed that a couple users above were mixing or confusing the two...

    And it would be the coldest day in h3ll when Apple allows the users to make up their own minds and give them the OPTION of bluetooth tethering.
