IIs it possible to USB-tether my wifi-only Galaxy Tab to my Galaxy S?

I know how to wifi tether but it is a huge battery hog. Is there a mini-USB version of the Galaxy Tab cable? If so, can it be used to tether?

Thanks in advance...

I highly doubt it, the wifi access point mode that android has built is what everyone uses. – imp Feb 21 '12 at 10:07
That's a shame because I use USB tethering with my laptop and it's faster and uses less battery. – Barry Fruitman Feb 21 '12 at 17:44
I would argue that usb would not noticeably faster, we are talking about 3g data connection yeah? haha But sure you may have a point with battery usage on wifi vs a usb connection, but hey now you dont have to carry around a silly usb cord ;) – imp Feb 22 '12 at 9:19
I'm going to pick one of these up thatcable.com/product/… (other providers are available though finding the right search term has been a pain) and see what happens when I plug my phone into my tablet. – syntheticbrain Sep 23 '12 at 11:15
