Tablets, smartphones and security fears topped our list of most popular stories this week, with the Samsung Galaxy Note in at number one. 

V3 readers were keen to check out the tablet/smartphone hybrid which we rated an impressive four stars thanks to its Super Amoled HD screen and HSPA+ support.

On the same theme, our top 10 tablets and top 10 smartphones to give as Christmas gifts proved popular among V3 readers looking for some advice or ideas for presents for the family.

Security fears pervaded the top 10 once again, with news of a critical Adobe flaw, a hefty Patch Tuesday from Microsoft and privacy concerns over the latest NFC bank cards all proving popular.

On the smartphone side, news of a Windows Phone SMS bug and Android malware stats also piqued the interest of V3 readers.
