Blackberry Torch and Blackberry Playbook Linking?

i got a free blackberry torch from att because i was included in part of the switch from alltel to att. i love my torch so far. basically the thing im wondering though is if i were to buy a blackberry playbook april 19th will i be able to surf the internet on my playbook from the internet off the blackberry torch. i know they RIM is promoting their secure bluetooth for linking them together but if i can also get internet from my phone and put it on the torch i would be very happy. will this be a free feature, or will i have to pay an overpriced tethering plan?

Thanks

    Tether is making an app for the playbook to tether with your blackberry. Once you download tether, there are no monthly fees, just a one time 50 dollar fee. This will allow you to tether anytime to your notebook, desktop, or playbook from your phone via microusb or bluetooth connection. There website is listed as:

    They are in the process of developing the app for playbook, however I am not sure as to when it will become available. It should be at launch date or soon after.
