WiFi iPad with rooted Droid

On www.droid-life.com, you can follow video instructions to give yourself superuser/administrator access to your Droid.  It is also called root access.  After you do that, you can install Barnacle Tether app on your Droid to make your droid into a wireless hot spot.  Pretty cool.  I use it to make my iPad more mobile.  I could also use it with my MacBook.  There is a less scary app called PDANet that you can connect to your Droid from MacBook to go out on the internet using BlueTooth or the USB cable.  That solution didn't work for the iPad so I took the risk and rooted my Droid.  Basically you replace your factory defaults that are saved on the Droid with Android OS 2.1 with root access.  Then you restore your phone to this version of Android OS instead of your factory defaults.
