iPad mini Will AT&T subsidize the cellular mini, too?

Even if they do, wouldn't it be $359 for the 16 LTE? They definitely won't subsidize the Wi-Fi models.
Also why add it to mobile share unless you don't have a smartphone? You can tether it for free and not pay the extra $129 and $10 a month. You're using the same pool of data either way.
You're correct, $359
Tethering wastes batteries on both devices at the same time
Sometimes I just want to leave the phone at home, or it's running out of juice already
That's understandable. I always have my phone with me and multiple chargers so I opted for the tethering option. I couldn't justify the extra $129 just to use my iPad without my iPhone.
If AT&T is subsidizing cellular based mini I just may take them up on their offer.
$100 off pays for almost half the $240 charge for keeping an iPad on your Mobile Share plan.
I agree with Yr Blues. I really don't want to tether. I like the idea of having my iPad GPS enabled for location, turn by turn and data access without requiring my iPhone.

Isn't it $10/mo for a tablet on the mobile share plan?
How can you tether it for free?
