Popular content from the past seven days on V3

The clamour for tablets looks like it will last through 2014, as V3 readers were keen to find out about some of the new devices to hit the market in the year ahead.

Our top 10 tablets for 2014 - covering the next round of iPads, Nexus devices and Surface Pros - proved the most popular article of the past seven days.

Smartphones were also of interest, as many are no doubt considering buying a new device for the year ahead. Our interactive guides to the Sony Xperia Z1 and the Lenovo ThinkPad 8 also proved highly popular.

Elsewhere, security concerns hit the headlines with FireEye's report of six new Android-based malware threats being of interest, and concern, to the many Android devices owners in the market.

Perhaps even more worrying was the news of the 16 million German email accounts being hacked by unknown malware, which forced the German government to issue a warning to its citizens to keep an eye on accounts using the same passwords.
