Apple's iPad has finally arrived

No prizes for guessing the top story with V3.co.uk readers this week. Apple has finally unveiled its much-hyped and long-rumoured iPad, a tablet computer with a 9.7in multi-touch screen and compatibility with iPhone apps.

The new device looks like an oversized smartphone rather than a ground-breaking new category, but it is, of course, unwise ever to underestimate the power of the Apple marketing machine.

Other popular stories with readers this week included Australia's Internet Blackout Day, and a flood of Google news, including an update to its Chrome browser which the firm says has 1,500 new features, and Google Voice offering click-to-call functionality and iPhone compatibility.

Our review of the Nokia N900 was popular, as was the latest news on the Google hack.
