I was just wondering, I might get one =)
All of those answers up there . . . dumb. It depends on how big your tank is and what is in it. For example: You can put a great white shark in the same tank as a clownfish. They will both survive to their fullest potential if the tank is set up correctly.
Bettas are the pitbulls of fish. They get a bad name from ignorant people.
My first tank was a 30 gal. community with various tropical fish including a betta and 2 inch (mouth to tail) angelfish.
Because I had plants, stones, etc, the fish used those as boundaries to their own little territories.
My problem fish were the mollies. I will never recommend mollies to anyone. A platy is a safer, hardier, more attractive alternative.
Many pet stores/fish stores will offer a guarantee on your fish. If you are 100% sure your water is safe, I recommend trying the combination, if you have a 1 inch/1 gal ratio or less. (For every square inch of fish should have at least a gallon) Otherwise you may be crowding. If you notice signs of aggression separate the newly bought fish and attempt to return it to the store immediately to ensure its survival.

Both are territorial and betta fish will attack any other fish with long swaying fins because they will mistake it for a betta. So bad idea...
