well... he has said MANY times that he can bend time AND space. therefore... teleportation wouldnt be out of the realm of his powers.
in the very first episode (correct me if im wrong) peter tells nathan that when getting out of bed that morning that his foot had hovered off the ground for just a split second. the first episode was WELL before peter was in the presence of nathan while he was flying. this pretty much proves beyong a shadow of a doubt that all he has to do is be around someone to absorb their powers. as far as HOW LONG he has to be in their presence... i dont think the writers are going to be THAT nitpicky about stuff like that.
also... i dont think the degree of control the person had over their power when it was absorbed has any effect on the degree of control that the person who absorbed it has. so saying that peter should have extreme control over time/space like future hiro did wouldnt be right.
for example... look at dale. she said that at first, her super hearing was horrible. that everything was WAY too loud and that she could hardly control it, but that NOW she had learned to use it better. however, when sylar stole it from her, his hearing started going bonkers (an obvious sign that he had little to no control over it).
now, i know that particular incident involved sylar, but peter and sylars power is somewhat similar in essence.
That's true, about the flying and all, but I'm wondering if maybe it's different with stolen powers, you know?
And no, Peter wouldn't have instant control over his powers, but he could still use them spontaniously. It is a stretch, but it's an interesting stretch...

As individuals, I think we read more into it than we need to at times. If in the show the actor says he teleported then he teleported. Who are you or any of us to say hes wrong when he himself said thats what it is. Lets enjoy the show instead of digging too deep.
Part of the fun of watching a show like Heroes is trying to find all the clues, even if there are none to find. It's fun to try and put puzzle pieces together with other people who have different puzzle pieces. That's why we dig so deep... and also because our minds function on that level and some of us - like me - can't help but to function on that level.

I disect everything, because that's how I work. I love digging and digging and digging, and yeah, sometimes you hit granite and have to dig somewhere else, but sometimes - the really good, fun, and interesting times - you have nothing but soil for miles and miles.
And that may just be me. Anyone that this doesn't apply to, feel free to speak up.
PANDA EDIT: By the way, I love the Quantum Mechanics tie-in, and I'm kicking myself for not seeing it myself. A show that focuses that much on science, I should have seen that. *Is a chaos theory buff* I don't think we can be too strict on the definition of teleportation, seeing as noone in real life has really done it. I think that the fact that Hiro can stop time, go somewhere, and re activate time should qualify as teleportation, because if you think about it, it's really not all that different.
Besides, if the writers told Hiro that he can bend the time/space continuum, then who am I to say otherwise?
