Is fitness the future of wearables?

Although the “wearables” category is somewhat new to Pocketnow, devices that are meant to be worn, rather than carried, have been around for quite some time. In the very early days they were called pocket watches. Eventually they evolved into timekeepers that we wore around our wrists. Original versions just kept track of time, but other features were added in: day of the week, day of the month, and even moon phases eventually came to wrist watches. Some got barometers, stopwatches, countdown times, calculators, even simple calendars. When Microsoft released its SPOT ...

Pocketnow Weekly 078: CES 2014 wrap-up – the best and worst from Vegas

LG Lifeband Touch hands-on (Video)

LG is entering the ever-popular fitness tracking wearable market with the recently announced, wrist-mounted Lifeband Touch.

The Lifeband Touch has a companion app which will be available on both Android and iOS, but it will also work with a bevy of third-party applications, as well. It tracks things like steps, workout time, heart rate, and calories burned. You ...

LG brings G Flex US launch news, Lifeband Touch, webOS-based TVs to CES

LG is one of those companies that bring a whole boatload of products to CES. That’s because the show’s more general-purpose electronics focus allows the company to show off a whole lot more than just mobile tech: TVs, refrigerators, audio equipment, washers, and dryers – LG has it all. While that means that a fair bit of its CES keynote strayed a little away from the sort of products we tend to cover, we did get to check out a few treats, like that fitness tracker that leaked the other day. We had heard that LG could be ...
