    Ok, so i was in the Apple Store and one of the things i tried out was if i could connect to the internet using my Blackberry's dataplan instead of the iPad's Wifi connection.
    I was able to connect my BB with the iPad over BT and on accessing the internet the iPad asked me for my APM etc. So i know the iPad can be conected to the BB over BT.
    Now i am at home with my own iPad and when i connect my iPad with my BB over BT the connection dies after a few seconds.
    Who can help me troubleshooting this BT connection?

    Ah, and two things:
    a) I am not trying to share the Blackberry's Wifi connection. I'm trying to share the EDGE data connection.
    b) I'm extremely happy with my iPad so iPad/Apple bashers won't change my mind and will be ignored.

    Have fun!

    Hello, did you find a way to make your blackberry work with the Ipad. I have a blackberry 8900 and will be buying an Ipad. I am debating if I should get the Ipad with the AT&T plan, or the Verizon Mifi plan or use my Blackberry wifi tethering like you.

    Thanks,

    Al

    Hi!

    Has anyone found a solution for tethering the Blackberry Tour to the Apple Ipad via bluetooth or Wifi?

    Thanks!

    I too would love to have a solution for this same configuration. My Tour will not even connect to my Ipad for some reason via BT

    It definitely is possible.

    Check here for details: http://forums.crackberry.com/f134/fi...fi-ftw-475732/

    Just so you know, you do have to jailbreak the iPad, install iBluever on the iPad, install PDAnet on the BB and that's it.

    I haven't ever jail broke an Apple device before and I did so easily...just make sure you Google info on how to do it.

    The speed is about half that of 3G though so don't expect to be streaming much media.
