Ok what do I need to do folks?
NO. Do not use Mywi.
Get iTether. It's 5$. Allows tethering over Bluetooth (ALOT better on battery).
If you do not have native tethering on your iPhone, use TetherMe (2$)
Jailbreak iPad with Limera1n, purchase itether on iPad through Cydia, tether iPad to iphone and enjoy.
Do I need to jb iPhone aswell?

I was just about to post and see if mywi was still the best option for tethering. looks like its not. Thanks for the tips!
What are you trying to tether to?
MyWi can tether to any unjailbroken iPad or iPod touch.
The options above require to jailbreak iPad and install iTether on it, then install TetherMe on iPhone, then you can only connect to that single device.
Also from reading, it seems MyWi has a faster connection but more battery drain.
MiWi makes a hot spot with more connection opportunities, itether and tether me are just between the two devices and battery is not bad at all with tether me. Been using this for quite awhile with no problems at all with SBToggle. Both need to be jailbroken for tetherme though. Just do it

I have an ipad wi-fi version and like to tether to the iphone. But here is my questions, the iphone does not have internet tethering service subscribed (only have ATT $25 2GB data plan for the iphone itself). In this case, can I do what you said by installing the jailbreak "tether me" app on iphone and jailbraek "itether" app on ipad to have the ipad tethering to iphone without paying ATT internet tethering service? Is it how you've been doing?
Thanks.
Yes that's exactly how its done, but be careful not to go over your 2GB cap on your iPhone data plan.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you need to have tethering activated on your phone for this?
I too am looking for a way to tether my iPhone 4 to my iPad Wifi. I do not want to Jailbreak my phone, but I would be willing to JB my iPad if I had to.
I have been using the iProxy source code app but it is very limited as it requires an Adhoc network to initiate the tethering. Basically you have to have a laptop with you to start it which limits its "portability" greatly.
If there were an app for iPad that would allow me to create an adhoc network on it I might be able to do that and use iProxy on my iPhone.
Regarding battery drain using MyWi on the iPhone 4. MyWi has a output power setting that is set by default at 80 percent. This is easily turned down to 35-40 percent and is quite usable if the two devices are within a couple feet of each other and the battery issue then quickly becomes nonexistent.
