Hi slinky-welcome. I don't think you can with your iPad 1. You can use your phone as a hotspot to your iPad, but your first gen iPad won't be able to itself.

Welcome to the iPadForum! This Forum offers so much information related to the iPad (original-New), Acessories, Apps, Help, and Apple News.

The iPadForum also includes a Regional Ipad Group for international users across the world. This is a wonderful area to "find" members from your own country.
Regional iPad Groups


If you have not done so, please take a look at the iOS 5.0 and 5.1:
iTunes - Books - iPad User Guide for iOS 5 by Apple Inc.
iTunes - Books - iPad User Guide for iOS 5.1 by Apple Inc.

Finally, please read the rules!

Unfortunately, you really can't run Flash on the iPad. We've made this sticky here to explain what's up with Flash: http://www.ipadforums.net/showthread.php?p=374941

So, please, have a look at it ... and please understand why we really don't talk much about Flash outside of that sticky. Thanks.
