Getting Data to the iPad

A while ago I was disappointed that bluetooth tethering (for internet) was not available on iPad. I was considering jailbreaking the thing to try this out but never got around to it. I did end up using a little 3g mywi thingy to create a small personal wifi hotspot for my iPad at work, and that's been fine. But I just noticed that since one of the recent updates, bluetooth tethering is now available. Thanks, Apple! So on my iphone, I'm vending the internet via bluetooth, consuming via iPad. Working fine! Since I tend to underuse the data I purchase on the mywi thing, and underuse the data I'm entitled to on my iPhone plan, this could allow me to stop using the mywi if it works out well. So far so good.
