Tablet news dominated the top 10 this week, with stories about products from Archos, Asus, Google and, of course, Apple all finding favour with V3.co.uk readers.
Most popular was news of the launch of Archos' 8.9in Windows 7 tablet, which will go up against the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The device comes with an Intel Atom 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 32GB of SSD storage and an 8.9in LED backlit touch screen with 1,024x600 resolution. It also features a USB 2.0 port, Wi-Fi, 1.3-megapixel webcam, optical trackpad with mouse buttons and the firm's trademark kickstand.
Also popular this week was news from Context that Apple's 64GB 3G iPad 2 is the best-selling tablet, accounting for a third of all iPad 2 sales in western Europe.
Our reviews of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer and 2011 edition of the Apple iMac 27in also garnered interest, as did news that two key Ubuntu executives are to leave Canonical.
Security news was another popular area of interest for V3.co.uk readers this week, with the news of Baroness Neville-Jones's departure as security minister, and concerns over the new WebGL standard.
Finally, readers were keen to read about Google's plans to upgrade its Android operating system for smartphones and tablets to version 3.1, and of our take on the top ten technology marriages made in hell.
