:00:37. > :00:47.anything? Welcome to Click. Brian Spencer
:00:47. > :00:51.Kelly and welcome to Barcelona. This is the city's exhibition space
:00:51. > :00:57.just behind the Olympic Park. For a few days every February this is the
:00:57. > :01:03.place if you want to know anything about mobiles. This is the Mobile
:01:03. > :01:06.World Congress 2012. This week, there is something new in the air
:01:06. > :01:11.as we crash the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We will have
:01:11. > :01:16.all of the announcements from the show, from superpower affianced to
:01:16. > :01:20.Super resolution cameras, to super- fast mobile connections. All of
:01:20. > :01:27.that plus the other news stories of the week and a tool to help you
:01:27. > :01:33.grab your time in the spotlight in Webscape.
:01:33. > :01:36.There is always so much to see at this event. New services, new ideas,
:01:36. > :01:44.sometimes even whole new ways of thinking. There is certainly more
:01:44. > :01:51.than one person could ever hope to see. But a reporter is giving it
:01:51. > :01:57.his best shot. Mobile World Congress is the biggest event in
:01:57. > :02:02.the mobile-phone industry calendar. Thousands pounds the packed halls,
:02:02. > :02:09.all eagerly prodding and applying with the very latest mobile devices.
:02:09. > :02:12.There are dozens of new handsets on show. Most of them use the Android
:02:12. > :02:15.operating system and most of them look extraordinarily similar to one
:02:15. > :02:20.another. In fact you would be forgiven for not being able to tell
:02:20. > :02:26.the difference between different modes of finds from different
:02:26. > :02:30.manufacturers. The reason so many smartphones looks the same is not a
:02:30. > :02:34.lack of imagination. Large touch- screen small less dictate the look
:02:34. > :02:39.of the majority of today's telephones. -- more or less. In an
:02:39. > :02:43.effort to make most of these handsets individual, we have to
:02:44. > :02:49.look beyond surface aspects and form factor. Most of the new
:02:49. > :02:54.features can be found under the skin. The big noise at this year's
:02:54. > :02:58.event is all about increased processing power. Slimmer, sleeker,
:02:58. > :03:04.some with quad core processes which are capable of speeding up a wide
:03:04. > :03:08.variety of applications. It is a natural evolution. Last year we had
:03:08. > :03:13.dual-core. This is a new phase. People want to have quicker devices
:03:13. > :03:18.just to do things quicker, faster and easier. Heavy duty applications
:03:18. > :03:22.such as games and videos, you should see especially with a quad
:03:23. > :03:31.core device, quick application opening, smooth video content, I
:03:31. > :03:36.frame rates which means basically you see no blurring or edging. It
:03:36. > :03:43.should make for a comfortable experience. LG's quad core is
:03:43. > :03:53.called the Optimus 4X. And it's Vedeotagra 3 processor. It has a
:03:53. > :03:56.
:03:56. > :04:00.4.7 inch display. And this one, known as Ice Cream Sandwich. This
:04:00. > :04:04.makes use as the same process that as LG and at the same operating
:04:05. > :04:09.system. The stand-out feature is its camera which really puts its
:04:09. > :04:16.processor to the test. The eight megapixels Cannes is capable of
:04:16. > :04:21.shooting 99 still images in a rapid burst. -- camera. And the HD video,
:04:21. > :04:26.an impressive feat on a mobile. Get out of my shop! Some people will do
:04:26. > :04:30.anything to get on the television. Fujitsu is not content with making
:04:30. > :04:36.a powerful quad core fine. Its handset is water present can be
:04:36. > :04:41.amerced in up to one metre of water. -- mobile phone. A philosopher once
:04:41. > :04:45.wrote, or perhaps it was Stanley, that with great power comes great
:04:45. > :04:51.responsibility. Although these new smartphones come with unheard of
:04:51. > :05:00.computational grunt, we are yet to see any compelling applications.
:05:00. > :05:07.It's faster opening apps and Gloria's gaming is all well and
:05:07. > :05:11.good but surely more can be achieved. -- glorious. A bonus
:05:11. > :05:16.track is when you get into applications. The ability to create
:05:16. > :05:21.applications with quad core in mind that, which allows you to talk to a
:05:21. > :05:27.television programme as well as watching it, straining it and
:05:27. > :05:32.downloading yet, and posting it on your social networking site. It is
:05:32. > :05:36.not just quad core phones. Nokia surprised many with its 808
:05:36. > :05:41.Pureview, a mobile phone with a whopping 41 megapixels camera. It
:05:41. > :05:46.is a digital camera so sensitive it is capable of taking detailed
:05:46. > :05:55.images which can be enlarged to poster size easily. All without a
:05:55. > :06:00.loss of resolution bawdy tale. It is not just about blowing up images
:06:00. > :06:03.to making them a beat. So much resolution means that zooming into
:06:03. > :06:11.the tiniest detail of a photo is possible with the swipe of a finger.
:06:11. > :06:15.This has said has been designed with the help of an technology guru.
:06:15. > :06:22.While its Cannes is impressive, Nokia's choice of operating system
:06:22. > :06:27.is less so. The eight-year wait is powered by Symbian OS, an operating
:06:27. > :06:37.system that in a landscape dominated by fire West, is not long
:06:37. > :06:39.
:06:39. > :06:45.for this world. Have let news was a bit thin on the ground. Samsung
:06:45. > :06:52.showcased and Android tablets. It can receive in Port. Perhaps the
:06:52. > :06:59.most interesting tableau at news came from Asus with its padfone.
:06:59. > :07:04.Take an Android power smartphone and one docking station. Flip open
:07:04. > :07:10.the flat and the fire slides home. It's the phone transforms into a
:07:10. > :07:15.tablet. And if you are a fan of keyboards, just at the optional
:07:15. > :07:20.keyboard dock to create a bolt together laptop. It is not just
:07:20. > :07:25.hardware on show. Earlier we saw Spencer enjoyed an oxygen bar.
:07:25. > :07:29.Become be it -- Nivio was showing the ultimate use for Cloud
:07:29. > :07:34.computing, running your entire operating system online. Yes, this
:07:34. > :07:38.is a Windows seven on an iPad. Those who need full-blown PC
:07:38. > :07:41.software but Microsoft offers on their mobile device can lock into a
:07:41. > :07:48.virtual Windows environment. All you need is a decent internet
:07:49. > :07:54.connection. It even works into a smartphone. It's there is a virtual
:07:54. > :07:59.mouse designed for those operations which require a more accurate quit.
:07:59. > :08:05.There is more from the Mobile World Congress Sioux. First, a look at
:08:05. > :08:08.this week's that technology news stories. Roaming charges in Europe
:08:08. > :08:13.could be slashed if the committee of European MPs get their way. They
:08:13. > :08:19.have voted to cut fees for calling to 12p a minute, four pens at X10
:08:19. > :08:22.no more than 16p for a megabyte of data from 20th July 14. It is
:08:22. > :08:26.expected to be approved by European Parliament before being passed to
:08:26. > :08:30.the European Council for a final decision. As the trying out the
:08:30. > :08:34.brand new version of Windows? Microsoft has released the preview
:08:34. > :08:39.its version of Windows eight which has been redesigned to work better
:08:39. > :08:42.on touch-screen tablets. It is hoped that the Touchtile, and apps
:08:42. > :08:47.combined with the more traditional law will help the company to get
:08:47. > :08:51.back ground lost to enjoy it and the like that. The trial is
:08:51. > :08:54.available now from muggers of's website.
:08:54. > :08:58.French regulators and the Japanese government and getting ready to
:08:58. > :09:02.investigate Google's new privacy policy. The new terms and
:09:02. > :09:05.conditions mean Google will bring altogether the musette data across
:09:05. > :09:09.many platforms to be used for targeted advertising and other
:09:09. > :09:13.services. There will be more on exactly what the policy says later
:09:13. > :09:20.in the show. Finally, Pablo Picasso's Guernica
:09:21. > :09:26.1075 this year and is due to get the complete hi-tech check up. --
:09:26. > :09:29.turns 75. Every night, the pablito droid takes tens of thousands of
:09:29. > :09:34.shots of the masterpiece using advanced infrared and ultraviolet
:09:34. > :09:39.photography. When it completes his mission in June expects will
:09:39. > :09:48.examine the 24,000 images that it has created and will get a clear
:09:48. > :09:51.view of the painting but of Pablo Picasso's underlying that touch ups.
:09:51. > :09:54.We have looked at some of the new kit you could be holding in your
:09:54. > :09:58.hand or a tree or in the coming months and as always there is
:09:58. > :10:05.plenty of interesting stuff to see. Some of it is less obvious than
:10:05. > :10:08.others because it is actually happening inside these things.
:10:08. > :10:12.Last year we visited Turkey to look at a technology which has begun to
:10:12. > :10:18.catch on in the summer, but not all, parts of the world. Many shops
:10:18. > :10:23.allow you to pay for things by swiping the card or a phone. And
:10:24. > :10:27.that's all. It is called Muirfield communications. Datchet in the
:10:27. > :10:32.device is activated when it passes near to reader, deducting money
:10:32. > :10:36.from your account without the need to enter any details. This idea of
:10:36. > :10:42.the mobile wallet was pioneered in Japan, but since then the arrival
:10:42. > :10:45.of smartphones with ING belts NFC chips and apps means it is possible
:10:45. > :10:50.to manage the payments more effectively. -- with in-built.
:10:50. > :10:55.There were plenty of GMOs in Barcelona showing ways to use your
:10:55. > :10:59.phone to make payments of the owner of another NFC phone or to claim
:10:59. > :11:04.loyalty points and cinema tickets, all of which could mean that in the
:11:04. > :11:08.future your phone becomes your digital wallet. I say, could,
:11:08. > :11:14.because NFC still has a long way to go to work its way into our hearts
:11:14. > :11:19.and minds. This is one of just a few handsets which currently has
:11:19. > :11:23.NFC builds in. You can even see the little logo at the top of the
:11:23. > :11:27.screen. It is not just about payments. There are plenty of ideas
:11:27. > :11:31.knocking around about how and why we might want to touch or swiped
:11:31. > :11:36.our phones in the near future. In a couple of months LG will start
:11:36. > :11:39.bundling little sticky end of see tans with their NFC phones. The
:11:39. > :11:44.idea is you stick them to different locations. One on your desk at work,
:11:44. > :11:50.one in your car. When you get to work you touch the phone to the
:11:50. > :11:53.attack and it goes into work mode. You touch it to the attack in your
:11:53. > :11:58.car it might put the loudspeaker on and programmed the satellite
:11:58. > :12:04.navigation to take you home. One thing you can do at the moment is
:12:04. > :12:07.sent contact between two NFC phones literally by touching the back of
:12:07. > :12:16.the phones together for four seconds. You can see the contact
:12:16. > :12:19.has arrived. While the demo is here had a mainly financial focus, NFC
:12:19. > :12:29.should have a broad appeal in years to come as we start using it in
:12:29. > :12:31.
:12:31. > :12:39.Your phone is really you, it is your right and a vocation. This
:12:39. > :12:44.makes it really easy to identify yourself. It is like a key. I
:12:44. > :12:51.walked into my house, I tapped and now I can see the football I paid
:12:51. > :12:55.for. If you do not have my phone, who cannot read my e-mails. When
:12:55. > :13:05.you next five if you're a new smartphone, you may find an NSE
:13:05. > :13:07.
:13:07. > :13:14.chip has been squeezed inside it. 3G my last signals have given our
:13:14. > :13:18.phones and have a device the capacity to search and download
:13:18. > :13:28.quickly. As smart cars purchase devices that are hungry for data on
:13:28. > :13:30.
:13:30. > :13:37.the move, our own devices struggle to keep up with demand. This is one
:13:37. > :13:47.of the first phones that is running on the next generation of mobile
:13:47. > :13:52.network, 4G. We are starting to see these phones pop up around the
:13:52. > :14:00.world. Basically, we are talking about what they tell the insect to
:14:00. > :14:04.your device over the same amount of radio spectrum. It means better
:14:04. > :14:11.coverage. And at the moment, it also means of a faster connection
:14:11. > :14:16.to your device. We even have is the detest app on this phone. There in
:14:16. > :14:26.mind, there are not many people using this network at the moment
:14:26. > :14:32.but we are getting speeds of in excess of 12.5 megabits per second.
:14:32. > :14:42.That is fast. At the top end of its performance, he can deliver a
:14:42. > :14:47.blisteringly fast mobile connection. We could have faster access to
:14:47. > :14:51.services like video-on-demand than our fixed line of internet
:14:51. > :14:56.connections. There has been no-one really interesting development at
:14:56. > :15:03.this conference. After years of false starts and failed
:15:03. > :15:13.announcements, Intel is getting in to smartphones. This is it. The
:15:13. > :15:14.
:15:15. > :15:23.world's first smartphone of with an Intel achieved inside. It has a
:15:24. > :15:27.camera with a tough megapixel stills in rapid succession. --
:15:27. > :15:35.eight. It is the Medfield Atom processor inside and it currently
:15:35. > :15:39.runs version 2.3 of the Android operating system. All our graves
:15:39. > :15:48.will run version of four. It goes on sale this summer in India, China
:15:48. > :15:54.and France. Michael Bell is the vice-president in charge of Intel.
:15:54. > :16:01.He also used to work for Apple. How important is it for at Intel to be
:16:01. > :16:04.in the smartphone market? These are really hand-held computers, Intel
:16:04. > :16:10.and computing are synonymous. It is very important that we get a
:16:10. > :16:15.foothold in this market. That has taken you a while, hasn't it?
:16:15. > :16:21.turns out that doing a hand-held device is difficult and not
:16:21. > :16:24.everybody can do it. The only difference by now is that we put
:16:24. > :16:29.together a world-class team of people both from inside the company
:16:30. > :16:35.and from outside and we focused on building the best Android
:16:35. > :16:39.smartphone on the planet with the best technology, which is ours.
:16:39. > :16:46.Most smartphones container arm chips. How do you plan to get a
:16:46. > :16:52.foothold in this market? building the best product.,
:16:52. > :16:57.fiercely, all microchip makers will say they have the best and a
:16:57. > :17:03.fastest phone. What will differentiate an Intel smartphone
:17:03. > :17:11.from that? It is not about being the fastest but the experience. At
:17:11. > :17:17.the end of the day, it depends on what people can do with their phone.
:17:17. > :17:21.Then it does not matter if you are using Android... I would disagree.
:17:21. > :17:25.This is more than the microchipped, it is about the pieces you built
:17:25. > :17:33.around it. We will have power efficient ways to play video and
:17:33. > :17:43.play games. We will be able to have anti-shake and, motion composition.
:17:43. > :17:45.
:17:45. > :17:49.The geocache. And you are building this into the microchipped? Yes.
:17:49. > :17:54.Hardware and software combine to make a great device. You have got
:17:54. > :18:00.to start with an idea and build both in concert with one another.
:18:00. > :18:06.was told last year that having an Intel-based portable device is
:18:06. > :18:12.great thinkers Windows works better with Intel. Can you see a future
:18:12. > :18:18.where one version of Windows will run on an Intel-based smartphone?
:18:18. > :18:23.You never know. We are partners with Microsoft in many areas. Right
:18:23. > :18:33.now, we are focusing on what the market is asking for her and that
:18:33. > :18:42.
:18:42. > :18:47.is Android. Tell us what you think.
:18:47. > :18:53.The internet is a creative space. Video sharing websites are full of
:18:53. > :18:57.short films, sketches and documentaries. For writers and
:18:57. > :19:07.artists, there are endless resources. You can even make your
:19:07. > :19:17.own animation. If you have an idea, you can find an audience somewhere
