There is a Skype app for the iPhone. It should work on the iPad. If you’re going to use it for SMS messages, you can scale it up 2x. It will look a little funky, but it is serviceable. Bluetooth headset are no problem for the iPad. My Plantronics/Altec Lansing stero headset (that does have a mic) paired just fine. I haven’t tried my Jabra BT for calls because I don’t really use Skype.

That’s good to know. I could actually get by using the iPad as my only cellphone.
What about a proxy so you can access the internet from networked machines through the iPad’s 3G card ? I read something once about “jailbreaking” the iPhone and then running a proxy but it sounded iffy.
Is the iPad and AT&T 3G really a viable do-all replacement for voice and internet for $30/month ? I’m paying $90/mo for DSL and Verizon mobile.
