My wife and I are grandfathered too and we can't even add our iPads to that. I also fear we'd lose the limitless data on the iPhone if we added tethering. The great thing about the limitless data for iPhone for us is driving around the USA with maps and Siri... all free. We once tried that with an 4G enabled iPad with Verizon and ate a months data in under an hour!
I bailed on my unlimited plan for that exact reason. Now we have family shared data through AT&T. The thing about vacation maps is that if you go over it is only $10 per gig which is just pocket change if you are on vacation spending $200 a night.
Wait, I don't really know why I would want to make a call with my Mac when my phone is sitting in close proximity. However, is this also supposed to work on an iPad? That I could actually see using.
I'm looking forward to it simply because it will allow me to continue working on my computer during various conversations—presumably that's why I'm at my computer. I wouldn't do that with my wife, but I can think of numerous work-related phone calls that would be better served without holding a phone to my ear.
I'm sorta wondering if the next version of the AirPort is going to have a iPhone docking station. Why carry your iPhone around the house? Park it at the door. Although fairly, I do snap the occasional in-home pic with it.
Hey, that might be a nice aftermarket product. An airport platform with power, docks for iPhones, a bluetooth 4 "booster" (who cares if it uses more power when it is plugged into the wall?)
