Now make calls from your iPad!

It looks like Apple's iPad can be used to make calls too. Well, at least Emergency calls if not the regular ones.

iPad is disabled after 5 successive wrong password attempts

The above was easily achieved by enabling a passcode lock, and then entering it incorrectly about 5 times. You can then slide for an emergency call.

Make emergency calls from your Apple iPad

Still puzzled as to why Apple actually included this functionality. May be it was related to FCC regulations that all wireless "phones" be able to make emergency calls, even if the phones aren't currently active or even assigned a number.

If the iPad can make emergency calls, it likely has the ability to make normal calls as well, though we'd seriously doubt that Apple wants calling to be part of the iPad experience (or compete with the iPhone). Hopefully Apple will let Vonage, Skype and other VoIP applications on the iPad, however.

There's no contradiction here… Apple steals with subtility and adds a lot to it, the others use copy machines!
