iPad Tethering

Hi,
I think the answer to this question is 'NO', but I'll ask it anyway....
I have an iPhone 3GS which I can tether to a Laptop, iPad etc and use the iPhones 3G connection to get onto the Internet using the Laptop / iPad etc.
Now I also have an ipad 3G, I bought a Three network Sim which I can get a lot fast 3G speed compared to my T-mobile Sim iPhone (+4mb / 1.8mb). So I thought about tethering the iPad to the Laptop (friends WiFi Only iPad) and using the iPads 3G connection to connect to the Internet using the Laptop (friends iPad) but there doesn't seem to be a way to tether an iPad to use its 3G connection like there is with the iPhones.
Does anyone know away (without hacking) to tether an iPad?

AFAIK the only way to achieve this is to jailbreak and use MyWi -> however this can lead to a whole host of other probs AND it costs $20. If its very important that you do this, go here
Don't take this as gospel though, perhaps someone else has a better solution.P.I.C.N.I.C problem: Problem In Chair, Not In Computer0 -
Buy a mifi, which you can set up as a portable wifi hotspot then everything can connect through wireless to that.
