Hey All,

Got a quick question. With the new tether service from tether.com , I understand that you cannot tether anything but a laptop to the Internet enabled device(iPhone/ipad3g) since it requires an ad-hoc network to be started from the laptop at which point you connect the Internet enabled device and the tether.com services takes care of the rest.

Since the iPad cannot start an ad-hoc, you could not tether your iPad wifi to your iPhone.

My question is could you start a thether connection between an iPhone and a laptop, then tether your laptop and iPad together to give your iPad Internet capability?
