Question about tethering Ipad to Blackberry

[f350drvr]

Since the Ipad 2 was announced, Apple has dropped the price on the Ipad1 refurbs to $349 for the 16gb wifi. For that price, i think i may pick one up. My only reservation is being able to tether it to my blackberry for internet service when I am out of range for wifi. I have been searching online for a few hours, and am getting mixed suggestions from people.

Does anyone here have an Ipad and a blackberry? Were you able to use the Blackberry for internet to the Ipad?

Thanks

It won't work.

Tethering requires software you probably cant get on the iPad, and depending on what carrier you have its probably disabled.

I do not mind having to jailbreak the ipad if it is required to link the two devices. I am using the tether program between my Blackberry and laptop, and i am happy with the performance. Just hoping I can do the same with the ipad.

I know how to google. I am looking for first hand experience.

That was in response to the guy who said it won't work.

If you find out how please post it. This is the only thing holding me back from buying an ipad. If I can't tether it I don't want it.

You can do it via wireless with the HTC EVO from Sprint..

I've found two other ways. You can d/l and install connectify to a windows 7 computer that your tethered to and it will turn the puter into a hotspot.

The other way isn't free. It costs about $150 bucks. It's called cradlepoint and once again it turns the blackberry into a hotspot.

I love that phones can now be wifi hotspots.
