Hutchison Austria to sell iPad?
Speculation is rising that Hutchison Austria (Commonly referred to as the 3 Network) will sell the iPad subsidized at a cost of 333euro when a customer signs up to a 2 year data plan at 29.90euro per month, data is capped at 5GB.
If that is indeed true then we should expect to see other European carries follow suit. Similar deals are already available in the region for customers purchasing netbooks.

UK to get iPad early
A quick look on Apple's UK site reveals that "Wi-Fi models shipping in late March. 3G models shipping in April." That's despite what Steve Jobs said last week indicating that the 3G iPad wouldn't debut until June or July.
Also, some rumors of late have been flying about a potential heavily subsidized 3G version in the UK similar to how a lot of netbooks are sold, i.e. if you are willing to signup for a 24month data plan you get the device itself for 'free' or at a very low cost. I must admit that kind of offer would certainly appeal to some who can't afford to stump up the $499+ price tag.

iPad will be allowed to make phone calls
The LA Times is reporting that outgoing phone calls can be made via VOIP services like Skype.
An Apple spokes person "We revised our Program License Agreement in conjunction with our updated Software Development Kit for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad Apps,"
Obviously a 3G version of the iPad will be required for this to work but we think it's cool that Apple are allowing VOIP calls.
Maybe Soup is currently being updated? I'll try again automatically in a few seconds...
