1) you can't tether your iPhone to your iPad because iPhone only offer bluetooth tethering and the iPad doesn't support that 2) one reason why people don't want to just carry MiFis or just use their phone for tethering everywhere are it kills your phone's battery and it kills the instant on/connected appeal of the iPad 3G. But I do think it's lame you can't buy a plan that spans both devices 3) BluRay is a stop-gap technology (I agree with Joe and Tor on this). Your average consumer finds streaming video good enough. The thing holding back streaming video is content. For example, I wanted to watch the original Tron again. No dice on iTunes or Netflix Streaming. Available only on DVD. The future is: every show and every movie ever made instantly on demand at 1080p for a price (subscription fee or each). Just a matter of time before the content owners get on board... and bandwidth will have to go up for 1080p of course. Of course I personally hate BluRay. I literally can walk to the corner for a coffee while my player loads the all the BS for movie. Then I'm forced to watch 5 mins of commercials. Then if I stop my movie and come back the next day it makes me go through the whole deal again (thanks Sony!)... I'm sure the newer players are better, just venting. 4) 3D TVs aren't selling well. People don't want to wear the glasses at home. My prediction is FAIL
