This week's top story with V3.co.uk readers was our rundown of the best Android phones, reflecting the unstoppable march of Google's mobile platform. But it was not all good news for the search firm, after complaints started flooding in about problems with the operating system's fonts.

Next up was the data breach at ACS:Law after a denial-of-service attack, and Virgin Media's self-proclaimed 'disruptive' Big Red Internet deal for businesses.

The news that handsets running Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 will arrive on 11 October was also popular, as was a LinkedIn malware outbreak and the latest attack by the Stuxnet worm.

In other news, several arrests have been made concerning the Zeus botnet, OpenOffice.org has declared an intention to break ties with Oracle, and RIM has unveiled its BlackBerry PlayBook tablet PC.
