| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Week in Tech | | | From wearables to Winter Olympics: gadget getup is going for gold | | While the world has been cheering on the athletes at the Winter Olympics, we've been discovering the apps that help to give them the edge - and the wearable tech that we're going to see a lot more of in the future. HTC's competing, with promises of a wearable device this side of Christmas. Apple's at it, with rumours suggesting that sleep monitoring will be part of the functionality of its much-hyped iWatch. And of course Google's at it, with ever more uses for Google Glass.

That's already true if your day job is being an athlete. As Hugh Langley explains, "if the US bobsled and skeleton team win big at this year's Winter Olympics, they'll have more than their coaches to thank… [they] have been perfecting their technique using free video analysis app Ubersense Coach on the iPad." | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this week | | | | | | | ■ | Week in Tech: From wearables to Winter Olympics: gadget getup is going for gold | | | | | | | ■ | Talking points: Galaxy S5 leak, iPhone 6 screen, beyond the Internet of Things, is Apple killing the 5C? | | | | | | | ■ | Competition: Win!
