programme that eats tomorrow's technology like no today. That | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
means that there is no better place to be that the start of the year | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
then right here in Las Vegas. One week only, you'll find a hi-tech | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
oasis in the middle of the desert. This year, we are at the first the | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
TEC show of 2013 to seek out the big trends of the year. We have | :01:01. | :01:11. | |

that big, small, curved, then be, and a huge robotic spider. -- bendy. | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
And we have the best of the weather. The tech world has a pretty cool | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
way of shaking off at the new year blues. Every January, it hops on a | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
plane or any other form of transport and jets off to the | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
massive consumer electronics show all the way across the United | :01:31. | :01:41. | |
States, in Las Vegas. It is a place that promises so much. A place that | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
:01:51. | :01:53. | ||
can make your dreams come true. C S is the show whether the players | :01:53. | :02:03. | |
:02:03. | :02:07. | ||
come to make a big splash and spake -- -- CES. -- shake it up a bit. | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
The in order to do that, you have to take some big risks. | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
We have seen some massive winds and huge losses in recent years. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
Sometimes these guys bet against each other, gambling huge amounts | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
that their product will beat their rivals. As with the war between | :02:31. | :02:41. | |

Blu-ray NAHT DVD, there is only one winner. -- and HD-DVD. Many | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
television manufacturers have a decided to have a little flutter on | :02:46. | :02:56. | |
:02:56. | :02:58. | ||
3 D. This has turned out to be a long shot. Some guys seem to have | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
all the luck. Apple that the lot on music, then smart phones, then | :03:03. | :03:13. | |
:03:13. | :03:13. | ||
tablets. This seems to be on a winning streak for now. These | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
numbers are coming up this year? The numbers are all in here. There | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
was Vegas Convention Centre. The time to hit the show floor. | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
Throughout the craziness of the halls, there is something you'll | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
always guaranteed to see here - lots and lots of screens. After a | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
few years of three be madness, manufacturers have found something | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
:03:48. | :03:49. | ||
new to shout about. -- 3D. Plenty of 4K screens this year. Hirer fit | :03:49. | :03:59. | |
:03:59. | :04:00. | ||
-- definition than the usual high- definition. Billed as better than | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
plasma and LCD, they are still too pricey for the high rollers. They | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
are flexible and therefore braggable. Here is the world's | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
first curved OLED screen from Samsung. Who is the world's other | :04:16. | :04:25. | |
first, from algae. Defensive screen at all? How about the laser | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
projector. It projects a 100 inch image from just a few inches away. | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
What is the one to watch? Let us ask a player. Let us put up one | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
thing first of all. 3 D, non starter? Television manufacturers | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
needed an excuse for everyone to buy a new TV. They needed to buy TV | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
again if you wanted to keep growing. They thought that he was the answer. | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
People were not interested making that investment again. Along comes | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
4 K. Lot of talk about this. Do we think it is still a little too | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
early and? This is the kind of opening gambit. We have a | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
technology and hardware that presents beautiful imagery. There | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
is no way to get their imagery at home. We have four times the | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
traditional resolution and the pictures are beautiful but in order | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
to see that at home, you need television channels or Blu-ray | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
discs that can produce that. Nothing is this right now that can | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
give you that content. It could be years before we actually see that | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
content easily available. For 2013, the display that is going to win | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
the biggest? You could be OLED. They are beautiful quality and very | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
expensive. They will be greater than $10,000 here in the US for the | :06:01. | :06:09. | |
entirety of 2013. In 2014, we may see those costs drop. People may be | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
other get them in their own living rooms. Don't let gambling control | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
your life. That is the job of your smartphone. These things are | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
becoming the centre of everything. They can control your television. | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
Replacing the directional menu navigation buttons or by being the | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
conduit between internet content and an otherwise dull screen. They | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
can control your entire house. A lot of home automation used to | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
involve all the controllers but controlling a light and locking the | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
doors and setting alarm can all be done with a tap on your smartphone | :06:48. | :06:56. | |
or tablet. Applications had even made it into a plant pot. Flower | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
power in -- Parrot's Flower Power allows you to deliver everything | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
you know that may need to know to keep your plants healthy. Are the | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
:07:15. | :07:22. | ||
It is very easy to take a manufacturer and build a piece of | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
hardware and add an app. Whether that abbeys for controlling it or | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
having the latest update, it makes a lot of sense there are different | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
operating systems up there. But it seems to be a two-horse race now, | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
Android and the Apple iOS. What happens to Windows Phone 8 and | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
Blackberry? There is a lot of duality. An ils app is on the bill | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
for an and row at his one the bill for either straight away or after a | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
slight delay. With Windows Phone 8, there is a delay and it is not | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
coming yet. This is because eyeless -- there a lot of Apple iOS devices. | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
There are not many Windows eight devices. There are no Blackberry | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
devices at all. Before placing bets, a seasoned gambler may like to | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
study the form. Devices of every shape and size. Phone so big that | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
they are almost Abbott. 6.8 inches, seriously? Tablets so big that they | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
are almost tables. 27 inches is a table. Windows eight, touch | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
friendly. It continues to inspire the new breed of touch-screen | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
laptops with those highway keyboards. The price of those once | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
expected touch-screen is coming down. -- expensive. If you enjoy | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
having many documents but then at once but prefer something old | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
school, Plastic Logic wants to bring back paper. Sort of. You can | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
move data between the sheets by touching these flexible e-paper | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
tablets. Maybe to attach a photo to win him now before sending. Could | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
this be the shape of your next games machine? A surprise | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
announcement from in the year. I hand-held gaming device called | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
Project shield with a flip-up screen powered by the Android | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
operating system. He has form? Here is a cool customer that likes to | :09:33. | :09:43. | |
:09:43. | :09:44. | ||
play his cards close to his chest. There are loads of new Windows 80 | :09:44. | :09:52. | |
form factor notebooks, one more than laptops er it's, it's a shock. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
You think that Microsoft has achieved the goal of taking back | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
the portable computer market? unusual proposition for a lot of | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
customers. I still think it tees and Nis proposition for a lot of | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
people. Especially as everyone is getting so used to a tablet and an | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
on-screen keyboard. Nvidia has pulled a portable game device out | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
of its pocket. I think it is an interesting idea. I think they're | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
trying to say that they make the hardware and that this is what you | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
can do with the hardware and with Android. It runs a standard version | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
of Android. There are so many apps and games and pieces of software at | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
low-cost that there are already full Android and here is a device | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
that is basically built to be the most powerful in a block for these | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
higher and applications and games. It is very interesting. It is a | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
product that needs to exist. million-dollar question. Which form | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
factor is going to win 2013? As the boring and say that the traditional | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
outlet, touch form only, that is going to win over next 12 months. | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
It is dull but probably true. of the runners and riders to keep | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
your eye on this here. Here is another really interesting thing. | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
This used to be Microsoft's booth. After many years of being here, | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
Microsoft is not here this year. Book who has taken over one of the | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
most common stance. But one of the most famous Tech names but Hisense, | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
a Chinese brand. Possibly a shape of things to come. Time to look at | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
some of the other big take stories of the week. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Microsoft Arian Shabanzandeh big stand may have been missing but the | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
big man made an appearance. The Co, Steve Ballmer, invaded the stage | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
during a keynote speech. He wanted to boast about the new range of | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
Windows 8 Mobile devices and the growth of the Windows App Store. | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
10,000 applications were added in the last month alone. If you're | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
wondering that is questionable timing, they used different chips. | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
The French government is exploring ways of charging internet giants | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
for using large amounts of bandwidth. The French diesel | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
economy minister says that the on- demand TV services from these | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
companies creating increasing demand on the infrastructure and | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
therefore they should pay for the improvement. Google argues that it | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
pays billions of euros per year and provides a major incentive for | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
people to sign up for high-speed services in the first place. | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
A student in Texas who opposes radio frequency ID badges in her | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
school has lost a federal court appeal. This student refused to | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
whether badgers on religious grounds, calling them the mark of | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
the beast. The school used the RFID tax to track attendance. The ruling | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
means that will have to choose to wear the badge or transferred to a | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
different school. If he thought it was fiddly to play | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
games and a smartphone, check this out. The world's smallest arcade | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
machine. A computer engineer from Canada took six months to design | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
and build the diminutive device. It has now been immortalised in the | :13:23. | :13:32. | |
King its walls -- dinners for There are over 2,500 companies here. | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
So how do you get your new gadget to stand out? One solution is to | :13:37. | :13:47. | |

get to a self fake celebrity. -- it yourself a celebrity. | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
Some things do not need celebrity endorsement. Here are a few that | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
caught our eye. This is a phone ready battery is | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
the star. So much so they have actually put it through the screen. | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
It is the only phone in the world that runs on a double a battery. | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
They tell me that this can last up to 15 years. That is if the phone | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
is turned off. It has got a 30-day standby time. It has got a ten-hour | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
talk time. It uses the GSM network. It lets you make a free emergency | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
call to the emergency services. This is without the use of some | :14:28. | :14:36. | |
courage. -- without the use of a Sim card. You can just use it when | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
needed. There are only 10 numbers inside this phone. But they have | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
released an application that would allow you to track this phone. You | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
can have a rough idea of where the person is. Given the fact the | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
battery is supposed to last about 15 years and networks are being | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
switched off, it may well be that his phone outlasts the network that | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
supports it. My mother always told me that if I | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
ate too fast it would be bad for me. Apparently she was right. You can | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
develop weight and digest it problems. Here we have found what | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
is being billed as the perfect solution. This is the fort that | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
tells you if you're eating too quickly. You halted by the silver | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
part of the handle. Every time your mouse closes over-rate, you | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
complete and tiny electrical circuit. Do it too many times and | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
the phone will vibrate. You can connect before that your computer | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
to monitor your progress. The only thing it can't do is tell you what | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
to -- whether you decided to eat healthily fast or Las Vegas-style | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
fast. Let us see if we can find some | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
decent food around these parts. Is there a French restaurant nearby? | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
OK, there are 15 places fairly close to you. It is about a half | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
mile north. Have to go and check it out. This is the Martian Watch. It | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
is pretty red hot. It uses Bluetooth, the wireless technology | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
that has been around for some time, to talk to your phone. It can stay | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
in your pocket. Unlike some other Bluetooth smart watches, this one | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
actually contains a microphone and speaker. You can make and receive | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
calls. The other thing it can do is display it on its LCD. | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
Notifications for things like Facebook updates and text messages. | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
You can ask it to read them out aloud. Read a text message. I hope | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
you have not done anything naughty. That would be the wife. This will | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
work with and Road and Dido S. It will also allow you to remotely | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
control your smartphone's camera. It leads to avoid having to do all | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
of those snaps. This some of the technology that we | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
have found, if I'm honest, I would have to say is the coolest. This is | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
the gigantic Mondo Spider. It is made by an art outfit based in | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
Vancouver. One of the purposes, apart from looking stupidly cool, | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
is to raise awareness of sustainable energy. It is powered | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
by lithium-ion batteries. It has gotten small enough and light | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
enough to put into Europe giant robotic spider. It was about 750 | :17:56. | :18:04. | |
kilograms. The turning circle is acceptable. You drive it like a | :18:04. | :18:13. | |
tank. You just pull them backwards and push them forwards. Anyway, I | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
am going to hit the highway. I'll hand you over to Kate Russell with | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
Webscape. No mechanical spiders here. But I | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
can make thunder. With the help of the first website that lets you | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
recruit social media supporters to shout about a good to have caused | :18:34. | :18:44. | |
:18:44. | :18:44. | ||
your championing. -- could cause. The idea is that you create a | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
thunderclap, set a duration or finish date, and the number of | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
people you would like to take part. Then you wait for the situation to | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
be approved. Once it is clear it, you can share writ and encourage | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
people to sign up and spread the word. On the designated date, it | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
will go live. It will send a message out in simultaneous social | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
messaging post across the Web. This means that everyone who signed up | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
will have their support for your message posted to Facebook. At the | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
exact same moment. Hopefully this will get more information for your | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
course. You could also take a look through the existing ones to see if | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
there are any cause as he would like to support. -- causes you | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
would. Planning a city break can be quite | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
complicated, especially when you consider how many online tools | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
there are. This one provides a solution with a trip planning was | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
it. It provides suggestions for hotels and restaurants you might | :19:54. | :20:04. | |
want to taking when you are away. There are five simple steps took | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
such a destination, date, the type of activities you would like to do | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
and being run a budget. The planner will come back with suggestions. | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
The destinations covered a limited right now. The service is quite new | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
and the developers are adding to which all the time. Drawing from | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
sources I Wikipedia, to the adviser, Yahoo! Travel and more, it takes | :20:29. | :20:38. | |
sorts of other useful details, like directions and suggested | :20:38. | :20:48. | |
:20:48. | :20:49. | ||
restaurants. Losing a pet can be really | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
traumatic. But one clever developer thinks you're iPhone might be able | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
:21:04. | :21:04. | ||
to help. Lost Petz lets you alert everyone with the application in a | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
ten-mile radius, showing them a picture of your pet and details | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
about where and when it went missing. It is the equivalent of | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
taking posters to the trees all around the neighbourhood. I love | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
the idea behind this application and I am sure that any pet owners | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
watching will feel the same way. It is awful when you lose a treasured | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
animal. I accept that those of you who do not go crazy over their | :21:32. | :21:41. | |
furry friends probably think we are all a bit potty. To add your pet, | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
you will have to pay the annual subscription. It is not a lot, but | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
if you are the only one in your area with its installed, it is a | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
pretty useless investment. If you just want to be alerted about | :21:54. | :22:03. | |
animals lost in the area, it is free to download. | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
The new year is now well under way, and let us hope it is filled with | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
