News of Acer's much-anticipated Iconia Tab A100 tablet device was the most popular story of the week with V3.co.uk readers keen to find out when the £300 device is to ship.

Reviews of the Nokia E7, HTC Desire S and Firefox 4 also piqued the interest of our readers, while others were quick to read all about the top 10 technology announcements which should have been April Fools.

Security-related stories are a perennial favourite with V3.co.uk readers and this week proved no different, with our coverage of the Epsilon hack and the revelation that Marks & Spencer customers were affected both proving popular.

Google's plans to improve the security of the SSL certificate process was also a hit, as was news that RIM's BlackBerry Bold Touch will ship with NFC technology.
