In response to an email from a Swedish Apple fan, Steve Jobs has confirmed that the iPhone cannot tether to the iPad.
I'll keep it short.
I'm Jezper from Sweden, a long time Apple fan, currently about to replace the very last computer at home with a brand spanking new iMac i7. I'm also awaiting the release of the iPad. However, I have one question:
Will the wifi-only version somehow support tethering thru my iPhone?
Two devices, based on the same OS, with already built-in technology to share one data plan suggests a secondary contract could possibly be redundant.
From the look of your keynote, where the iPad sits well between my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, I was hoping the three of them could interact as seamless as possible.
All the best,
Jezper Söderlund

Unsurprisingly, Apple and AT&T want customers to purchase network access and more expensive 3G version. Lets hope the device gets jailbroken quickly!
*Update: some of our commenters have correctly mentioned that MyWi can be used to establish a wireless hotspot for the iPad to connect to, although that would eat up the iPhone battery very quickly.
