You know us, we like to keep an ear to the ground and, while our own iPads have been purring along with no more than the occasional crashed app, we’re hearing others have not been so fortunate. A number of persistent issues have been reported by anxious iPadites across the USA, including weak or intermittent WiFi signal, overheating, broken PDF exports from Pages, and the iPad completely forgetting your network settings and password. So we figured what better way to see how widespread these problemos are than to ask the collective Engadget brain trust? Have you experienced any of these symptoms? Found a fix? Returned the iPad, bought a skateboard, and started a new gadget-free lifestyle? Vote in the poll, pretty please, and drop by in the comments to let us know how it’s working out for you.

America’s broadband plan is in “legal limbo”, say advocacy groups, after a court ruling on net neutrality enforcement.
While some internet radios try to go all out with either
retro or
futuristic styling, Grace’s new Allegro WiFi radio instead keeps things about as simple as can be, and that’s just fine with us. Designed with portability in mind, the radio can run on six AA batteries or an optional NiMH rechargeable battery, and promises to deliver some room-filling sound thanks to “one of the most powerful amplifiers in it’s class.” You’ll also get support for a range of services including Pandora, Sirius and Live 365 right out of the box, as well as an included remote control (and even an iPhone remote app), a headphone jack, and all the usual alarm clock features — not to mention support for streaming of your own music library in addition to internet radio. Sound like what you’re looking for? This one’s available to order right now for $169.99.

The Digital Economy Bill is given a second reading in the Commons amid calls for the government to rethink rushing it into law.
Sony Ericsson’s no stranger to phones with decent cameras, and the Vivaz with European 3G frequencies aims to be one of them; after all these months we’ve finally got hold of this S60 device, which is the first phone capable of continuous autofocus on 720p video recording courtesy of its speedy 720MHz Cortex A8 and PowerVR GPU. Compared to its predecessor, the Vivaz bears a similar button layout and GUI to the Satio‘s, but lacks a front-facing camera, Fast Port (replaced by a micro-USB port and 3.5mm headphone jack), and a slide cover for the camera. The resistive touchscreen (sigh, more on that later) has been downsized from 3.5 inches to 3.2 inches but retains a similar resolution (640 x 360), while the camera sensor is also scaled down from 12.1 megapixels to a more sensible 8.1, possibly for the sake of picture quality and component cost. But enough with the comparison — let’s get cracking with the review.
