It seems that Apple's upcoming tablet iPad will allow you to make emergency calls too along with its video conferencing and basic photo editing feature.
According to sources, to get to the emergency call screen on iPad SDK, the developer simply enabled the passcode lock and entered in the wrong password five times. Then simply slide to make an emergency call on iPad.
Apple may have included this functionality for 3G iPad models only to get it complaint with FCC regulations according to which "all wireless phones should be able to make emergency calls, even if the phones aren’t currently active or even assigned a number”. It’s also possible that iPad has the ability to make regular calls just like iPhone with a little hackery but we seriously doubt that Apple would make iPad a competitor of its another product the iPhone.
Hopefully Apple will let Vonage, Skype and other VoIP applications on the iPad, however.
