Looks like it has finally been confirmed that the iPhone personal hotspot gives the iPad 2 it's GPS information when paired together. This is great news for people who went for the Wi-Fi model and gives yet another reason to save the money and not buy the 3G version of the iPad.
Still not sure if this works with the 1st gen, and I had my doubts about this when I first read about it, but the video shows quite clearly that it is true GPS (though at slower intervals) and not just Wi-Fi location mapping.
