Can you use your Iphone as a wifi-hub for Ipad?

Is it possile to buy the Ipad2 wifi and then use your Iphone Data plan to connect your ipad to 3G network? Therefore using my iphone as a wifi-hub for the Ipad instead of paying for another data plan?

Absolutely you can do this. If you have iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 and your carrier offers a tethering plan, you can certainly use that to give your iPad a wifi hotspot anywhere you have 3G service. AT&T offers tethering. There is additional cost and for anyone who had an ulimited data plan with AT&T, they will have to give up the unlimited option and agree to a capped data plan. Currently, that option costs $45/month and includes (I believe) 4GB of data/month.
