Those who opted for the LTE variant of NVIDIA 's Shield Tablet are in for a sweet candy treat today. NVIDIA announced via Twitter that Android 5.0 Lollipop has begun rolling out to the device just a week after its WiFi sibling.

In addition to bringing a little Lollipop goodness to the gaming tablet, the update also adds some cool new features to NVIDIA's own apps. You can now look forward to layer support, custom color creation, and stencils in NVIDIA's Dabbler app, as well as streaming access to full versions of over 20 PC games via Grid in the Shield Hub app.
