Thanks for bringing it up. I think in the end, using the USB cable would most likely be a nice balance. If your laptop battery is decent enough (and most are now), then technically you'll be using the laptop battery to juice your phone and keep it charged. If you use Bluetooth you'll probably drain the battery off the Mobile device faster. You'll be using Mobile Internet AND Bluetooth = Bye Bye Battery. So, USB is the way to go. (Yeah not as cool as wireless Bluetooth but hey, we want things juiced up!) Thanks for the tip AJ :) A.J – Great point! Thanks for bringing it up.

With my current tethering app and phone, connecting by USB actually charges my phone. I'm not sure how much drain that places on the laptop battery?
