The most popular story with V3.co.uk readers this week was the news that Google is preparing to take on the iPad with a "reader tablet that will also perform computing functions", according to chief executive Eric Schmidt.
This was followed closely by the announcement of yet another Twitter revamp, under which developers will have to consider more radical innovation, and the creation of "killer apps".
Apple, meanwhile, has angered users with the news that it will no longer support the iPhone 2G, and drawn considerable flak for its "hostile and despicable move" in blocking Flash on Apple hardware. The firm has also outlined some of the features of iPhone OS 4.0, and is clearly hoping to conquer new markets with the operating system update.
Our latest Top 10 was also popular, offering a timely rundown of political blunders in the area of technology, as was our review of Opera Mini for iPhone, which Apple has surprisingly allowed on to the App Store.
Microsoft, meanwhile, has been busy with the release of Visual Studio 2010 and no fewer than 25 security fixes in a whopping Patch Tuesday update.
