An Engadget hands-on with the Verizon iPhone reveals that it runs iOS 4.2.5 and has Personal Hotspot built right into the Settings app.
It's unclear if the Personal Hotspot feature will be a Verizon exclusive. Apple writes, "iPhone 4 on Verizon Wireless will also include new Personal Hotspot capabilities allowing customers to use iPhone 4 to connect up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices."
Hopefully existing iPhone customers will also receive the iOS 4.2.5 update which enables this feature.

And, with that, no more need to jailbreak for me. Except of course to unlock for resale.
