erm - ok back to the subject at hand 
I'm interested in this for using my phone as the hot spot for my Wifi iPad while on the road. At the moment, I'm using an (unrooted) Droid, which supports USB tethering to share it's 3G connection, but not Wifi hot spot sharing. I can root (jailbreak) the phone to enable the Wifi hot spot feature, but I'm not keen on rooting my phone at the moment.
Finding a means to enable the iPad to get it's interweb connection via USB would be magical for me.

Joephoto - sounds like a client would be needed in order to allow USB tethering to work. I use Tether on my Blackberry and Laptop when not near a wifi and it requires a client on the laptop in order to work.
Without Jail-breaking one or the other, I don't know if this is possible.

Right on Scott. A lot easier on the couch or anywhere else than wrestling with a lap top on your chest ... or in the knee-throne position (smile)
Had I known about this software I could of saved my self $100 on a wireless modem. It works like a charm. I have an air card connected to my laptop and with this software I can now share its connectivity (connectify-me) with the iPad. I love this forum. Just google connectify-me for the software link
