I think it's sad that you have to root/jailbreak to get this feature OR you have to pay the carriers extra. My Nokia N9 for instance comes with a wi-fi hotspot preinstalled and I can use it to share internet with other devices without having to pay anything extra. Better yet, I've had feature phones that you could connect with USB to share their internet connection. This is simply Apple and Google bending over for the carriers. Nokia will do it with WP7 also, I'm sure.
