I got your answer to hotspot and iphones. Do you think that Apple will soon be forced to create their own hotspot app for iphone? Now that Verizon is offering this on other phones free it seems to me that it is inevitable that Apple will have to follow. Especially now that iphones will be available with Verizon service. If so, how long before the hotspot from phones is a standard non-chargeable feature for all phones?
That said, I can’t see spending the money for the ipad with 3G and the $25 monthly service. What do I know, you are the expert. Buy the 3G ipad or bank on Apple creating a free app?
FYI - My Blackberry works with a USB tied to my laptop with $50 fee for the application. No other monthly fees required b/c I have unlimited data plan. I do not use the Blackberry connection often but it sure comes in handy on the road.

Funny you should mention this hotspot creation. Because in the beta release of iOS 4.3 the iphone can be enabled as a hotspot. There is no information yet as to whether ATT or Verizon would charge an additonal fee. Many Droid models will do this already. You just have to be careful to stay within your data limit. Either way, I think now is not a great time to buy the iPad or iPhone. Apple has a history of releasing new versions of these iOS devices around summer time so I would wait. It’s not up to Apple whether they include free hotspot functionality, it’s really dictated by the carriers. I say wait and let the dust settle with Verizon next month. I’m sure ATT will have to adjust their plans somehow to counter the droves of people who are poised to leave.
