The unveiling of Android Ice Cream Sandwich was clearly of great interest to V3 readers this week, with the launch of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus smartphone on the platform the most popular story of the week.

Interest in Apple remains strong, though, with our review of the iPhone 4S proving hugely popular, while readers were also keen to see what we considered the top 10 features missing from the device.

The battle between the two firms for smartphone dominance also made our head-to-head between Android Ice Cream Sandwich and Apple iOS 5 a must-read, while Motorola's Razr device launch also proved popular.

Security concerns are never far from readers' minds and the news that a new hacking group called Team Swastika has accessed 10,000 Facebook accounts was of particular interest, and no doubt concern too.

Our story revealing that housewives, students and security pros are among Anonymous members was also popular, as was our piece on Mozilla's frustration with Microsoft for claiming its Firefox browser has poor security.

Rounding out the top 10 was an in-depth review of the Asus Eee Pad Slider SL101 tablet that scored a middling three stars, and our article on Samsung's ChatOn instant messaging tool for Android devices, which aims to compete with BlackBerry Messenger and Apple's iMessage service.
