Three men have been arrested during an undercover police operation. A

fourth man has been cleared of similar charges.

Now it is time for Click. Welcome to Click. Welcome to

:00:40.:00:46.

Europe's largest technology expo. This is IFA 2011 in the heart of

:00:46.:00:50.

Berlin and this is an absolutely massive show. To give you an idea,

:00:50.:00:56.

I am standing in a halt for 20 of 28. Lots to do. Better get on with

:00:56.:01:02.

it. -- in a hall. We will take out the latest TV screens, camera kits

:01:02.:01:06.

and the most exciting of tablet tech. And we will bring you the

:01:06.:01:10.

other big stories from around the world and a guide to the future of

:01:10.:01:20.

the world in Webscape. We start with the biggest screen in

:01:20.:01:25.

the house. The television. This year, the hype over 3D is giving

:01:25.:01:35.
:01:35.:01:35.

weight to televisions that can do more to just show movies or TV.

:01:35.:01:40.

From high-definition to slim the panel. Wide screen and a wider

:01:40.:01:45.

screen. Two 3D. Television makers have always sold sets based on

:01:45.:01:51.

looks and picture quality. But now, it is switching to the multitude of

:01:51.:01:56.

content and TV that can be delivered to your home via the

:01:56.:01:59.

internet. More of the biggest swings we buy can be connected to a

:02:00.:02:05.

rota, giving access to movies on demand, Internet-based TV channels

:02:05.:02:12.

and streaming services like U2. One of the biggest players, Samsung,

:02:12.:02:19.

says three out of four sets can be hooked up to the internet. --

:02:19.:02:24.

YouTube. They offer apps and games and no longer need add-on boxes or

:02:25.:02:29.

consols. Smartphones and tablets can be used from the sofa to

:02:29.:02:33.

navigate Facebook or Twitter. But the limited number of apps this

:02:33.:02:40.

Panasonic TV has, 100, means a lot less choice than on a tablet or

:02:40.:02:44.

smartphone. Sharp, LG and Philips have announced a common platform to

:02:44.:02:50.

encourage more titles. So one version becomes all of their smart

:02:50.:02:54.

TV is. But owners will need good broadband connections to start with.

:02:54.:02:59.

Panasonic says just one-quarter of its smart TV's have actually been

:02:59.:03:03.

connected. Samsung believes in Europe, it is around half.

:03:03.:03:07.

Explaining the benefits and intricate menus to customers new to

:03:07.:03:14.

the idea may also been hampering uptake. With everybody offering

:03:14.:03:19.

smart televisions, the race is on to stand out from the crowd.

:03:19.:03:22.

Turkish outfit Vestel raised the temperature, unveiling a prototype

:03:23.:03:27.

television with peer-to-peer file sharing software. That was built in

:03:27.:03:32.

by BitTorrent. Just add a hard drive to store your movie downloads.

:03:32.:03:37.

And Samsung showed off its YouTube 3D app which allows said owners to

:03:37.:03:43.

view the tiny but growing amount of 3D content on the site. 3D itself

:03:43.:03:48.

has struggled to capture the public's imagination as quickly as

:03:48.:03:52.

manufacturers hoped. This Dizziness Free selling-point on the latest

:03:52.:03:56.

Samsung models reveals one existing problem. And the need to wear

:03:56.:04:03.

glasses has bothered many. But not from November. Toshiba says goodbye

:04:03.:04:08.

to the specs with the glasses 33 D screen. Instead, a layer of

:04:09.:04:15.

microscopic liquid lenses on the screen allows different perspective

:04:15.:04:19.

to descend to each eye, giving the illusion of 3D. Face tracking

:04:19.:04:24.

technology determines how far you are from the screen so the' lenses

:04:24.:04:28.

can be adjusted to provide 45 overlapping sweet spot where the

:04:28.:04:34.

effect works best. From two metres away I could move my head at 30

:04:34.:04:37.

cent of readers and still avoid the shadowing effect. While it is not

:04:37.:04:42.

as clean and effective as active shutter glasses, the picture has

:04:42.:04:48.

good depth, providing a more need 3D effect that may suit some tastes.

:04:48.:04:55.

The future of 3D TV is classes less. 3D, nobody wants to wear glasses.

:04:55.:05:01.

That is why contact lenses are so popular in the market. TD must be

:05:01.:05:06.

grasses less in order to attract more people to watch three deep. --

:05:06.:05:12.

TV. By at glasses Free is not without cost. The 3D filter reduces

:05:12.:05:18.

the screen's effective resolution to a 720 H D image. The viewing

:05:18.:05:25.

angle is reduced. And it costs 8,000 euros. Panasonic thinks it is

:05:25.:05:29.

a crazy idea and is sticking with glasses which deliver a clearer

:05:29.:05:33.

picture with just one drawback - you have to wear them. But to make

:05:33.:05:37.

things easier, it has teamed up with such Sharp, Samsung, Philips

:05:38.:05:41.

and Sony to create a single standard so the one sport next year

:05:41.:05:45.

may work well with your friend's 3D said.

:05:45.:05:52.

-- the ones you buy next year. And IFA may look at more in the

:05:52.:05:57.

next year. If you are sold on the glasses option, why not get rid of

:05:57.:06:03.

the television altogether? For 900 euros, Sony will pop these new all

:06:03.:06:12.

in 13 D specs on your face. That is a look. -- all in one 3D specs.

:06:12.:06:17.

A with me today is Luke Westaway, the senior writer for the highly

:06:17.:06:23.

respected site CNET. Welcome. Let's talk about the TV technology we

:06:23.:06:26.

have seen. Connected TV's, it has to be said the use their experience

:06:26.:06:32.

for a TV online has been pretty poor? Yes. It is not there yet. We

:06:32.:06:36.

are better off putting our laptops into the TV. That is what TV

:06:36.:06:41.

manufacturers are trying to discourage. They want their own

:06:41.:06:45.

sites. If you are scrolling through an internet TV, it feels sluggish

:06:45.:06:50.

still. It is annoying. There are no keyboards so you have to input text

:06:50.:06:54.

very slowly. So just really making what they have more compelling.

:06:54.:06:58.

There is not a lot of content apart from YouTube which you can get as

:06:58.:07:03.

the use of. And there are encouraging signs, that the 3D

:07:03.:07:06.

intercity is getting its act together. Standardised glasses and

:07:06.:07:11.

the glasses Free TV. It is interesting. It works reasonably

:07:11.:07:15.

well. It is going on sale. But you have to ask, if we have not reached

:07:15.:07:20.

a consensus on whether we want glasses or no glasses, we are not

:07:20.:07:26.

really their debt for 3D. Thank you. Stay there for a few more minutes.

:07:26.:07:33.

Plenty more from it but still to come. -- from IFA.

:07:33.:07:38.

It is all to ageing at Yahoo. Just two years after her appointment,

:07:38.:07:43.

CEO Carol Bartz has been given the axed after her a star slashing do

to a more personalised experience failed to revive the company's

:07:48.:07:52.

fortunes. It is apparently now open to a buyer and a Orwell is rumoured

:07:52.:07:56.

to be the front runner. Just a few months before the launch of the

:07:56.:08:03.

Triple X Domain, thousands of celebrities have registered to make

:08:03.:08:09.

sure they are not related with the online red light district. Agencies

:08:09.:08:14.

say 1,500 domains have already been registered by prototypes. And

:08:14.:08:18.

finally after years in the labs, invisibility cloaks are finally

:08:18.:08:23.

here. Sort of. BAE Systems is outfitting tanks, toppers and

:08:23.:08:28.

:08:37.:08:43.

cow. More on this and other defence orientated take in the coming weeks.

:08:43.:08:48.

-- technology. So we have heard about the latest

:08:48.:08:54.

TV technology here at IFA which includes a lot of 3D. There is also

:08:54.:08:58.

this problem of not much 3D content around. The latest camera

:08:58.:09:07.

technology may change that. Action. Plenty of interest at IFA

:09:07.:09:12.

this year in shooting material in 3D. What is that? You are not

:09:12.:09:16.

seeing me in 3D, you still need the specs with the system. That is

:09:16.:09:21.

better. You have a darker picture, no difference in quality. Are you

:09:21.:09:24.

feeling underwhelmed by the experience? And are you starting to

:09:24.:09:29.

feel not just as well? OK, so 3D is working properly. You have lost it

:09:29.:09:37.

again? The numpty forgot to charge the specs. OK, you may have guessed

:09:37.:09:40.

that I do not buy into the multi- dimensional bars that the Big beat

:09:40.:09:44.

-- big hitters of TB hardware are determined to whip up. But still

Happily, there is enough innovation in the playing boring it to the

:10:10.:10:15.

camera space to titillate even the most trigger-happy of camera users.

If flip-up LCD's do not tickle you, connecting to a smartphone may. I

Still, the building wi-fi serve some genuinely useful purposes like

And automatic Panorama allows an entire scene to be captured in a

And ridiculous aspects. Or put yourself in the picture with a

These days, there is so much way for can -- so many ways for cameras

:11:23.:11:27.

to make a splash that the industry is allowing that decade-long

:11:27.:11:31.

megapixels Marketing Board to take a back seat. We are now being told

:11:31.:11:39.

that less is more. Confused? To keep up. Few were megapixels are

:11:39.:11:44.

better because the percentage is the same. Each pixel is bigger and

:11:44.:11:49.

could use more light. So the low light quality or the quality of

:11:49.:11:53.

normal conditions is much better. You have less noise or less grain

:11:53.:11:59.

in the image. That is what the user wants. With stills camera shooting

there are some choices we no longer have to make it all. This model is

convergence. Stills cameras that full -- sued for hedge de Vera --

video. Do we need to buy video cameras any more? It is safe to say

:12:50.:12:58.

that if you are a casual videotape and just want to take some videos,

:12:58.:13:04.

something quite small, that will still at work fine. But if you are

:13:04.:13:08.

after a good quality video, a camcorder is still the way to go.

:13:08.:13:13.

The ergonomics of the device... It is more comfortable to shoot video

:13:13.:13:19.

with a proper camcorder. The same question could be asked of skills

:13:19.:13:26.

cameras with respect to smartphones. Asked deals cameras in danger of

:13:26.:13:32.

becoming extinct? Definitely. Most able take pictures on their

:13:32.:13:38.

smartphones and they are very good. They offer the ability to share the

:13:38.:13:45.

photo online. We are seeing more and more digital cameras having

:13:45.:13:49.

that kind of feature put-in. We're seeing some wi-fi cameras, things

:13:49.:13:53.

like that. The danger is that smartphones will take over the

:13:53.:13:59.

still camera market. Thank you. Stay there. Accent. Moving on first.

:13:59.:14:05.

For the last couple of years. Every -- everybody has been jumping on

:14:05.:14:12.

the tablet bandwagon. But are they late? We have been continuing to

:14:13.:14:21.

take the tabke the tabas the scene of a slew of tablet launches here,

:14:21.:14:27.

devices which share Android operating system, most using the

:14:27.:14:32.

latest version called honeycomb. Because these machines or use the

:14:32.:14:36.

same operating system they have uniform touch-screen controls and

:14:36.:14:42.

can download apps from the Google market. Most of the Android devices

:14:42.:14:45.

on the market are performing much the same way. This creates a really

:14:45.:14:49.

big problem for a hardware designers and engineers. How did

:14:49.:14:55.

they make a different machine? How do they prevented from becoming a

:14:55.:15:00.

need to tablet? In the case of Sony's engineers, they're trying to

:15:00.:15:07.

make their latest stand out with the help of making sure. The Sony P

:15:07.:15:13.

features a folding case with two 5.5 touch screens which should make

:15:13.:15:18.

it more portable. Both displays can become one large screen with a

:15:18.:15:24.

great big black bar through the middle of it, that is. It has four

:15:24.:15:28.

gigabytes of one store -- online storage. It can also store extra

:15:28.:15:33.

data. But the folding case design could prove to be a love it or hate

:15:33.:15:39.

it feature which makes for breaks it. Its price could also provide

:15:39.:15:49.

problems. It is �479. It could be a perilous proposition for Sony. Sony

:15:49.:15:54.

also have a more traditional tabloid offering with the S Talbot.

:15:54.:15:58.

This is shaped like a folding book or magazine magazine more

:15:58.:16:05.

comfortable to hold. It has a 4.9 inch display. It is available in

:16:05.:16:12.

three cheat and wi-fi versions. Both are PlayStation set-aside --

:16:12.:16:16.

says a five say you should have access to old PlayStation games,

:16:16.:16:20.

games of such antiquity they would probably have their own exhibit in

:16:20.:16:25.

the British Museum. Sony is not the only outfit with a new Android tap.

:16:25.:16:29.

Samsung has already started to launch its second generation of

:16:29.:16:35.

Android tablets. This latest addition, the 7.7 inch galaxy tab

:16:35.:16:41.

follows a familiar theme. Familiar because for some, this will be the

:16:41.:16:49.

closest they get to a galaxy tad 7.7 unless -- at least before a

:16:49.:16:55.

patent spat is sold. They argue that they have copied at the look

:16:56.:17:01.

and feel of iPhone and iPad. They have been granted a court order

:17:01.:17:06.

which prevents the sale. It chose to remove the 7.7 from the show

:17:06.:17:09.

floor. If you have managed to snatch a look at it, you'll

:17:09.:17:13.

discover it is a thin and like honeycomb defies. It has front and

:17:13.:17:22.

rear cameras and a bright and alert -- --reen. It looks a little

:17:22.:17:29.

difference. We I get to hear a word on pricing. -- we are yet to hear.

:17:29.:17:33.

Samsung did launch one device which is unlikely to encounter the same

:17:33.:17:40.

patent problems as its relatives. The hybrid phone and tablet. But

:17:40.:17:45.

t that is smaller than most others

:17:45.:17:50.

and a smartphone that is larger than most other phones? It

:17:50.:17:56.

seemingly normal at first. It is Android power -- his Android power

:17:56.:18:02.

which can create impromptu portrait. It is the fact that the note is

:18:02.:18:05.

being marketed as a device which sits between a smartphone and a

:18:05.:18:14.

larger Tabard. It will hit eight undiscovered section of the market.

:18:14.:18:17.

And now thatd now thatad his from Toshiba. It has been on the died.

:18:17.:18:25.

Probably the thinnest. It deserves millimetres thick 10 inch screen

:18:25.:18:34.

new device. It is called the 8,200. It has micro US bees and micro

:18:34.:18:39.

ports. Its last two attempts at tablets were not successful so this

:18:39.:18:42.

one has a pretty big mountain to climb in order to draw attention to

:18:42.:18:52.

itself. Let's pick up on the idea of price. Apple traditionally have

:18:52.:18:56.

more expensive products than anyone else. Why on earth are all the

:18:56.:18:59.

other tablets the same price as the iPad Bestinvest when the iPad

:18:59.:19:05.

launched were -- the iPad was a little bit cheaper when it first

:19:05.:19:11.

launched. I think -- Android tablets need to be cheaper. If you

:19:11.:19:16.

are looking at buying and a Android tablet or an iPad it is more

:19:16.:19:21.

sensitive to -- sensible to buy an iPad because other people have one.

:19:21.:19:24.

If the Android was a lot cheaper there would be more reason to buy

:19:24.:19:32.

one. It is a two-horse race for the Tablet operating system. Should

:19:32.:19:37.

windows even bother trying to get back into tablet? Yes, it should

:19:37.:19:41.

bother because it is always fun to have more staff to choose from. The

:19:41.:19:48.

real challenge they have is apps. Apple's ils is more established.

:19:49.:19:56.

They have more available. That is what makes a tablet great. Thank

:22:37.:22:40.

the Web is great for collaborating with distant friends and relatives

:22:40.:22:45.

and there are some funky tools to help you do this if you look around.

:22:45.:22:50.

Like Stroome, a cloud editing package for video, photos and audio.

:22:50.:22:55.

After offloading your contact or pulling down some of the contest

:22:55.:23:00.

uploaded by other users, use the interface to drag and drop bits and

:23:00.:23:06.

bobs and linking with transitions and adding it music track. When you

:23:06.:23:09.

have finished your time line you can share it with other Stroome

users so they can remix York works. This is a great way of

:23:14.:23:19.

collaborating on creating a slide show from a family party or wedding.

:23:19.:23:23.
