LAS VEGAS, CES 2014 – LG clearly got the memo that 2014 is set to be the year of wearable electronics — since the South Korean manufacturer has taken advantage of CES 2014 to unveil its new Life Band Touch fitness wristband.

The device — which lets users track physical activity including steps taken, distance covered, and calories output — can be synced with both Android and iOS devices, using Bluetooth 4.0.

Your smartphone and tablet will soon offer noticeably better performance than a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, thanks to NVIDIA’s new Tegra K1 processor, the successor to last year’s Tegra 4. The 192-core “Super Chip” will come in two versions, one of which is built upon a next-generation 64-bit Denver architecture and boasts clock speeds up to 2.5GHz.

Lenovo has today kicked off its CES announcements with the unveiling of its first Android-powered all-in-one PC. It’s called the N308, and it boasts a 19.5-inch HD+ display with a 1600×900 resolution, a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor, and up to 500GB of internal storage.

Last night, ASUS’ upcoming flagship tablet of 2014, the Transformer Book Duet (TD300), was the star of a leaked video published on the Taiwanese company’s official YouTube channel, but, unfortunately, the short movie has since been removed from the Internet.

SkipLock was one of the greatest applications to make its way onto Google’s Play Store throughout the whole of 2013. Unfortunately, it was released at the very tail end of December after the cut off date for our Best Apps of 2013 roundup, so, as a result, we’ve decided to give the app its very own review right here on Cult of Android.

First released bearing the name “Unlock with WiFi” back in 2012, but redesigned and rebranded last year, SkipLock is one of those extremely useful apps that you never really open, but you know is always there, running in the background with the simple objective of making your life significantly easier.
