0:00:02 > 0:00:04This wearable technology is a great idea but...

0:00:04 > 0:00:07they still have to bring it down in size - just a touch!

0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Click.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27I'm Spencer Kelly and welcome to Messe Berlin,

0:00:27 > 0:00:30a huge exhibition space in the heart of the German capital.

0:00:30 > 0:00:31This is Hall 23,

0:00:31 > 0:00:34if you're asking, and this place is where, every September,

0:00:34 > 0:00:37the technology world comes together for the massive

0:00:37 > 0:00:38techno-fest that is IFA.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43This week, we'll bring you the best-in-show.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46We'll find out if the latest wearable tech is making a big

0:00:46 > 0:00:50enough splash, yet is small enough to actually lift.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53We'll project...well, not very far forward at all,

0:00:53 > 0:00:57to see if the newest smartphones are set to clean up.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01We'll look at the cameras that could help your night go with a bang

0:01:01 > 0:01:05and, of course, we'll bring you that announcement that might make

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Apple the one to watch.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15This is it, then -

0:01:15 > 0:01:19the week the coolest city in Europe hosts the coolest new kit on the block.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21IFA is 28 halls, decorated

0:01:21 > 0:01:25and themed to within an inch of reality and stuffed with people,

0:01:25 > 0:01:29electronics and companies desperate to get their kit noticed any way

0:01:29 > 0:01:33they can - which reminds me, I must catch up on last week's Doctor Who.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Some of the most eye-catching things happen behind the scenes

0:01:36 > 0:01:39for private guests only.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42Here's a great big 8K TV screen from LG.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44That's four times the resolution of 4K,

0:01:44 > 0:01:47which itself is still in its "Please love me, please -

0:01:47 > 0:01:51"I know you can't watch much on me yet but please buy me anyway" phase.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Never has fruit and veg looked so beautiful.

0:01:54 > 0:01:59Sony launched its new Xperia Z3 smartphone and, with it,

0:01:59 > 0:02:01the ability to stream PlayStation games to it -

0:02:01 > 0:02:04rather like you can already with your PlayStation Vita

0:02:04 > 0:02:07and with a similar set-up to last year's project SHIELD

0:02:07 > 0:02:10for Android and PC games.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14It's basically an attachment for your existing PS4 controller -

0:02:14 > 0:02:16straps around here, it's got a big sucker on the back

0:02:16 > 0:02:17so you can stick your phone to it,

0:02:17 > 0:02:20and once you pair the controller to the phone using Bluetooth,

0:02:20 > 0:02:23your PlayStation will stream its video content

0:02:23 > 0:02:27through your home router and to the phone, which means you can carry on

0:02:27 > 0:02:31playing games while someone else watches something else on the TV.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33- HE COUGHS - Just like SHIELD.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Yeah, there was more than a little bandwagon-jumping

0:02:37 > 0:02:38at this year's show.

0:02:38 > 0:02:43Samsung is getting into virtual reality with its Gear VR headsets.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Now, this is an interesting mix of specialised headgear -

0:02:46 > 0:02:49made by Oculus, incidentally - and the do-it-yourself method

0:02:49 > 0:02:53of strapping your smartphone to your face.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Here, you clip your Galaxy Note 4 to the front,

0:02:56 > 0:03:00which provides the screen, and voila! Instant Cirque du Soleil.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03The resolution is still, I would say, not as sharp as I'd like it.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06That's because you've got two great big magnifiers

0:03:06 > 0:03:08you're looking at a phone screen through,

0:03:08 > 0:03:12but the thing that's really, really astonishing is there's no lag.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15For the first time, I'm seeing a VR headset where there is no lag.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18I turn my head like that and it really does feel like I'm here.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20There's absolutely no lag between me

0:03:20 > 0:03:24moving my head and the video moving to catch up.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26That's probably thanks to the fact that,

0:03:26 > 0:03:29unlike other DIY virtual reality kit,

0:03:29 > 0:03:32the motion detection isn't just left to the phone but

0:03:32 > 0:03:36supplemented and greatly improved by sensors inside the headset.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38And although the fitting is only for the Note 4,

0:03:38 > 0:03:42to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if third-party adapters

0:03:42 > 0:03:45were available to buy, or even 3-D prints in due course.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50And even with no device attached at all, it can make you look hilarious!

0:03:52 > 0:03:55But the biggest bandwagon of all at the moment is the one

0:03:55 > 0:03:57you strap on your wrist.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Sony launched its SmartWatch 3

0:04:00 > 0:04:03and then someone dropped it in the fish tank.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Last year's clunky camera-toting monstrosity

0:04:06 > 0:04:08with the hardly-ever-on display from Samsung

0:04:08 > 0:04:10was very poorly received,

0:04:10 > 0:04:13but the new Gear S with its curved OLED screen

0:04:13 > 0:04:16looks and feels like a vast improvement.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19It's lighter, the display doesn't keep switching off all the time

0:04:19 > 0:04:21and there's no stupid camera.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Unlike most smart watches, this has its own SIM card,

0:04:25 > 0:04:27so you can send and receive calls

0:04:27 > 0:04:30and messages without needing to be tethered to a phone.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33It is, however, gigantic.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Now, any horophile will tell you what watches really need is

0:04:37 > 0:04:38to be round.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42And while Motorola's Moto 360, now on sale in the US,

0:04:42 > 0:04:47has answered that call, it does have an annoying black bar at the bottom.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Here at IFA, LG's first attempt at the classic look,

0:04:50 > 0:04:55the G Watch R, is a completely circular OLED display.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58But it will keep dimming to save power,

0:04:58 > 0:05:00something you just cannot stop.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Well, you can't have everything, it seems, but then,

0:05:03 > 0:05:06maybe less is more, as they say.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09And when I met up with Sony's boss, Kaz Hirai,

0:05:09 > 0:05:11that's exactly what I requested.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15Can you show me that smart watch again? Just hold it up.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Why are they such big, chunky masculine affairs at the moment?

0:05:18 > 0:05:20It's really a matter of balance.

0:05:21 > 0:05:26You want to be able to make sure that you can check e-mail, um,

0:05:26 > 0:05:30and also read other messages, you know,

0:05:30 > 0:05:32your to-do list, your calendar, what have you,

0:05:32 > 0:05:35so in order for you to do that, you know, in a comfortable way,

0:05:35 > 0:05:39we're obviously looking at a variety of different screen sizes,

0:05:39 > 0:05:41but it can't be too small, number one.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45And number two, again we also have to balance that with battery life,

0:05:45 > 0:05:49which means that if you have a small form factor,

0:05:49 > 0:05:51you don't have enough battery as well.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52Oh, yes - battery life,

0:05:52 > 0:05:56the elephant in the room for all of these smart watches - boasting,

0:05:56 > 0:06:01as they do, anything up to two whole days of use before a recharge.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Which is approximately 300 times worse than

0:06:04 > 0:06:06the watch on my wrist right now.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10I think it's fair to say that smart watches

0:06:10 > 0:06:14and wearables have yet to really capture the public's imagination.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17But there is one company that's previously managed to take

0:06:17 > 0:06:20several old clunky technologies and make them cooler

0:06:20 > 0:06:22than the other side of the pillow.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26It's long been rumoured that Apple will one day announce some kind

0:06:26 > 0:06:30of wearable device and this week, finally, it did -

0:06:30 > 0:06:34and Richard Taylor was in Cupertino, California, to see it happen.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39A Steve Jobs-esque reception for his successor.

0:06:39 > 0:06:40On the very same stage,

0:06:40 > 0:06:44the Apple founder famously launched the Mac three decades ago.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48This was Tim Cook's big moment - his own stage to prove

0:06:48 > 0:06:50he can propel Apple into a new era.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53First came the new iPhones -

0:06:53 > 0:06:55most of the details have been widely leaked.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58They're thinner, faster, with better cameras

0:06:58 > 0:07:01but, most importantly of all, both the iPhone 6

0:07:01 > 0:07:05and its bigger brother the 6 Plus are larger than today's iPhones,

0:07:05 > 0:07:09finally catching up with big-screen Android rivals which have been

0:07:09 > 0:07:12eating away at Apple's market share.

0:07:12 > 0:07:17- So - a big leap forward. - And we call it Apple Pay.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19But could this be a quantum leap?

0:07:19 > 0:07:23A payment revolution in the making, according to Tim Cook - Apple Pay,

0:07:23 > 0:07:27a new wireless payment system using near-field communication.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31Forget your plastic - keep your credit cards on your iPhone.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Touch an iPhone 6 on a contactless reader

0:07:33 > 0:07:38and a couple of seconds later the transaction's complete.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42But NFC payments have been tried and they've died on Android.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45And after the recent iCloud celebrity photo hack,

0:07:45 > 0:07:49can Apple really be trusted with our payment details?

0:07:49 > 0:07:53What about confidence in Apple security after the recent security breach?

0:07:53 > 0:07:55We're being very smart. Nothing goes through the cloud.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58That is something that they said very clearly

0:07:58 > 0:07:59in the announcement today,

0:07:59 > 0:08:05is all about a secure element in the phone and nothing gets stored.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09They don't see anything in there. Nothing goes through the cloud.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10But Tim Cook wasn't done.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13One more thing.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Time for the timepiece de resistance.

0:08:17 > 0:08:22An Apple wearable - the most keenly anticipated gadget of the year.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24So here it is, the Apple watch.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28Now, this is one of three versions that are going to be available

0:08:28 > 0:08:30in different finishes and they start at 349.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Instead of just having a regular crown on a watch, this crown here,

0:08:33 > 0:08:37when you rotate it, will zoom in, for example, to the home screen,

0:08:37 > 0:08:42it will zoom in to maps and allow you to navigate around the watch.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46While on the face of it, it might look like other smart watches

0:08:46 > 0:08:50emphasising health and fitness, there are plenty of other differentiators,

0:08:50 > 0:08:55from highly customisable watch faces to the admittedly gimmicky

0:08:55 > 0:08:59digital taps, which let you ping your friends with emojis.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Overall, it deeply integrates into the iPhone itself,

0:09:02 > 0:09:05using its sensors as well as processing power to deliver

0:09:05 > 0:09:10what looks like a comprehensive app experience on your wrist.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13It's an Apple platform as a watch.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16It's a little bit different than some of the things that we've

0:09:16 > 0:09:18been seeing from smart watch competitors which have focused

0:09:18 > 0:09:23on limited things in terms of functionality.

0:09:23 > 0:09:28Apple seem to believe it's hip to be square. Not everyone will agree -

0:09:28 > 0:09:32although celebrity fanboys in attendance do think it's a game changer.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34There'll be plenty of people saying,

0:09:34 > 0:09:38"I just want my watch to tell the time." Well, fine.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Go back in your cave and your watch will continue to tell the time

0:09:42 > 0:09:44and shops will continue to sell watches that tell the time

0:09:44 > 0:09:48and I'm very happy for you. But this is something quite different.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53Different? Definitely. But compelling enough for a general public

0:09:53 > 0:09:56when it costs 30% more than other smart watches?

0:09:56 > 0:10:02We'll find out when it goes on sale early next year.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Richard Taylor in California. So there you have it.

0:10:05 > 0:10:10Apple is finally wearable but do you think that is what it will take

0:10:10 > 0:10:12to convince the mainstream?

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Tweet us @BBCClick or e-mail us click@bbc.co.uk

0:10:15 > 0:10:17and we will return to the technological sweet shop

0:10:17 > 0:10:21that is IFA after a look at this week's tech news.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24No, that's not real, is it?

0:10:27 > 0:10:28Sites including Twitter,

0:10:28 > 0:10:32Netflix and Reddit have taken part in an internet slowdown

0:10:32 > 0:10:35in the States, in a show of support for net neutrality,

0:10:35 > 0:10:37the principle that all traffic on the internet

0:10:37 > 0:10:39should be treated equally.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41The big-name firms are worried that proposed new regulations

0:10:41 > 0:10:44could mean extra charges for companies like them to get

0:10:44 > 0:10:46the data to homes quickly.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49At the moment, the law is a grey area, with cable

0:10:49 > 0:10:53companies on one side wanting big bandwidth businesses like Netflix

0:10:53 > 0:10:55to pay up to use their network, and the other sites

0:10:55 > 0:11:00saying that doing so would create an unfair two-tier Internet.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Microsoft is in talks to buy the video game studio

0:11:03 > 0:11:07behind the hit world-building game Minecraft, according to reports.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10It's been suggested that Swedish outfit Mojang might sell

0:11:10 > 0:11:12for more than 2 billion.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16It claimed in June that about 54 million copies of the game

0:11:16 > 0:11:18had been sold, and since then it's also been

0:11:18 > 0:11:22released for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25And it was one of the biggest gambles in gaming history

0:11:25 > 0:11:28but the risk looks to have played off for Activision

0:11:28 > 0:11:30and its new title, Destiny.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34The eagerly anticipated first-person shooter went on sale this week

0:11:34 > 0:11:38and it's already made a whopping 500 million through retail

0:11:38 > 0:11:39and digital shops.

0:11:39 > 0:11:44The game cost more than 200 million to make, with 500 people working

0:11:44 > 0:11:48for over five years to create the open world sci-fi environment.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Something tells me a sequel might be on the way.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Any tech conference worth its transistors has to have

0:12:00 > 0:12:04at least one home of the future, and here at IFA there are a fair few.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08This one by Sony is showing off a few random ideas.

0:12:08 > 0:12:13There's a screen in the bedroom for that all-important cheery morning greeting...

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Over the bath, a musical light bulb.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18..and a projector over the bed.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Cheeky.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Projectors give you the opportunity to create really massive images on your wall.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26But you can't normally stand anywhere near this close

0:12:26 > 0:12:28to the image without casting a shadow on them.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30That's because the projector is right down here,

0:12:30 > 0:12:34throwing this video up at the wall at a really crazy angle.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38These short-throw projectors do exactly as the name suggests,

0:12:38 > 0:12:42throwing a large image at a surface from not very far away at all,

0:12:42 > 0:12:45meaning you don't need an enormous living room

0:12:45 > 0:12:47to enjoy an enormous picture.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51There's a lot of talk these days about turning every surface into a display.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Now, of course, that can turn out to be really expensive.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Short-throw projectors like this do solve that problem

0:12:57 > 0:13:01and give you the ability to see anything anywhere.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04This couple seemed very happy dining on their fake food

0:13:04 > 0:13:07in the kitchen of the future, flicking photos to each other...

0:13:07 > 0:13:09That's nice. Where did you go?

0:13:09 > 0:13:11..and engaging in scripted dialogue,

0:13:11 > 0:13:13which means we can all have a bit of ham.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16And honey, they really serve nice food.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19We should go there this weekend.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Time now for some more home tech with Jen Copestake -

0:13:22 > 0:13:24who appears to be on my fridge.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30The focus on smart-home tech here at IFA has seen a vast

0:13:30 > 0:13:33range of gadgets integrated with the internet of things.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36They are designed to fit seamlessly into your life.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41This make-up mirror prototype from Panasonic diagnoses skin problems,

0:13:41 > 0:13:44evaluates your wrinkles and recommends treatments for you

0:13:44 > 0:13:48based on food you currently have in your fridge.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50And if you're out of ingredients needed for the treatment,

0:13:50 > 0:13:54there are ways for you to buy what you need by pressing on the mirror.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56And when you're ready to leave your connected home

0:13:56 > 0:14:00and face the real world, it gives you tips for how to do your make-up

0:14:00 > 0:14:04in any situation and links to online tutorials and, again, will

0:14:04 > 0:14:09connect you to an online retailer where you can purchase the products.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13This kind of connectivity where you're interacting with your home

0:14:13 > 0:14:15is getting more advanced.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20LG's smart-house system uses an app to let you talk with your building.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24So if you're leaving it will turn the lights off for you, and if you

0:14:24 > 0:14:28say you're coming home it will turn them back on as you approach.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32It will even pick out music for you to listen to, based on your mood.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Feel in the mood for happy music?

0:14:34 > 0:14:36Your house will recommend music for you

0:14:36 > 0:14:39and have it playing by the time you get home.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Samsung takes this a step further

0:14:41 > 0:14:45and is working on a connected audio system where your music would

0:14:45 > 0:14:50wirelessly follow you from room to room as you move around the house.

0:14:50 > 0:14:51And in its connected home,

0:14:51 > 0:14:54we had a chance to try out its latest robotic vacuum.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59This is Samsung's Cyclone Force robotic vacuum.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02It's 60 times more powerful than other ones that we've seen

0:15:02 > 0:15:05from them and the key thing about it is, it's got this new laser pointer

0:15:05 > 0:15:09feature so you can actually control where the vacuum can go by pointing.

0:15:10 > 0:15:14While the laser is a nice touch, it does feel a bit gimmicky.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17The vacuum doesn't yet connect to an app but will be able to

0:15:17 > 0:15:19in the future.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23Unlike the show's most anticipated robot vacuum from Dyson,

0:15:23 > 0:15:26the company has spent 16 years

0:15:26 > 0:15:30developing this robot vacuum, the 360 Eye.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34It's taken a long time because actually it's quite a difficult proposition.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Developing something that actually cleans carpets really well

0:15:37 > 0:15:40and does it in a logical and intelligent way

0:15:40 > 0:15:44is not an easy task and there are lots of machines out there,

0:15:44 > 0:15:46but a lot of them don't really fulfil that function

0:15:46 > 0:15:48and it's taken us a long time

0:15:48 > 0:15:51because we wanted to make sure that we got that absolutely right.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54This robot uses a unique vision system

0:15:54 > 0:15:56which takes 30 images a second.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58The robot works out reference points around the room,

0:15:58 > 0:16:01so it knows exactly where it is.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04The Dyson 360 Eye is connected with a wireless app

0:16:04 > 0:16:07that's available for Android and IOS devices.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10You can schedule cleanings remotely when you're at the office

0:16:10 > 0:16:12and you can make weekly cleans.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15You can also monitor live the activity of your robot,

0:16:15 > 0:16:18so you can check which areas of your house it's cleaning.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21You can have other robots, so that one can be cleaning your upstairs

0:16:21 > 0:16:25and one cleaning your downstairs. And when it's finished cleaning,

0:16:25 > 0:16:30you can return the robot to base and it will recharge itself.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33We've seen innovation in the kitchen, too,

0:16:33 > 0:16:36including Panasonic's ideas for the smart home.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39In the future, you will be able to use all your home appliances

0:16:39 > 0:16:42whenever you need to, but keep them neatly stowed away and out of sight.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47This is how you keep your kitchen counter clutter-free and clean.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49And all of these appliances, they're wireless?

0:16:49 > 0:16:53Absolutely, so you can use them however and wherever you want to.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57You can put any pot on top and the coil will automatically

0:16:57 > 0:17:01- detect its size and place, so it can heat efficiently.- Yeah.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04Or for example, we can use the stirrer, here -

0:17:04 > 0:17:08and then push the button

0:17:08 > 0:17:09and it stirs automatically.

0:17:09 > 0:17:13- We also have a microwave oven with a built-in camera.- OK.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16For example, we have roasted duck in here.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19So usually, when you open it up, open the oven,

0:17:19 > 0:17:22the glass fogs up and you can't see anything any more, so this is really

0:17:22 > 0:17:28perfect because the built-in camera shows you the duck from inside.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- And it's something you can do as well with dishwashers, I guess?- Exactly.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35The dishwasher has also a built-in camera so it's really, really convenient.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39Hmm. Well, while I don't really want to watch my dishes from the couch,

0:17:39 > 0:17:42compared to some of the connected tech we've seen before,

0:17:42 > 0:17:45there are ideas here I could actually see in my own home.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Now, IFA wasn't the only big spectacle to happen in Berlin

0:17:52 > 0:17:54the weekend we were there.

0:17:54 > 0:17:58Jen and I popped out to take some shots of the international fireworks festival.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01See, we wanted to look at some of the kit you could use in low light

0:18:01 > 0:18:05which avoid the problems of trying to take a shot in the dark.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10Using a camera in low light gives you a load of problems.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13The camera will probably add a load of dots to the picture

0:18:13 > 0:18:16as it tries to boost the levels to brighten everything up.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18The shutter speed will slow right down

0:18:18 > 0:18:20so the picture is likely to get smeary,

0:18:20 > 0:18:22and you're likely to have really bright

0:18:22 > 0:18:25and really dim objects in the same shot,

0:18:25 > 0:18:28at which point the camera will expose for the bright objects

0:18:28 > 0:18:31and you won't be able to see the dim objects at all.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36You may be tempted to use a traditional DSLR with that lovely

0:18:36 > 0:18:40big lens and a big sensor, both of which are helpful in low light.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42They certainly do have a lot going for them.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46The Panasonic GH4 films 4K ultra-high-def video,

0:18:46 > 0:18:51has a fast autofocus and a vari-angle touch-sensitive screen.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56But you could achieve DSLR quality without most of that

0:18:56 > 0:19:02bulk with Sony's new 20-megapixel QX1, a lens and camera which uses

0:19:02 > 0:19:07any Android or Apple smartphone as a wireless viewfinder and controller.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09We saw the first of these cameras last year

0:19:09 > 0:19:12but the new version allows you to change lenses,

0:19:12 > 0:19:16allowing for even more beautiful DSLR style shots.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19And that means you can adjust all of the settings to

0:19:19 > 0:19:21suit for a night-time shoot,

0:19:21 > 0:19:28especially with the QX1's super-duper top ISO rating of 16,000.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32Admittedly, though, some things do look better in the dark - like me.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Ah, Spencer - no need to be too hard on yourself.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38You can capture the perfect selfie at night on your mobile phone

0:19:38 > 0:19:39with the help of the Lenovo X2.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42With a five-megapixel front-facing camera,

0:19:42 > 0:19:47it includes several features to beautify yourself before you snap.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49There is a sensor to aid your selfie-taking.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Blinking, gesturing, or speaking to the camera brings up

0:19:52 > 0:19:56a three-second countdown before the photo is automatically taken.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00So no worries about camera shake as you reach to push the button.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02There's a beautification bar to improve your complexion

0:20:02 > 0:20:06and you can even add pink light to the shot to improve your looks.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09If you want, the camera will even give you a happiness rating

0:20:09 > 0:20:12out of a hundred and tell you how old it thinks you look,

0:20:12 > 0:20:16so you can try and get your age down by adjusting your pout.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20All pretty impressive stuff.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24I hope Kate Russell has something that flash back in the Webscape HQ!

0:20:24 > 0:20:25Kate?

0:20:27 > 0:20:30Well, I think this keyboard is pretty flash.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Smartphones have come a long way over the last decade

0:20:33 > 0:20:37but they're still being shipped with a default QWERTY-style keyboard,

0:20:37 > 0:20:40crammed onto the limited screen space.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44There are several different styles of input you can download as an add-on

0:20:44 > 0:20:48and 5-TILES is the latest re-imagination giving you just five

0:20:48 > 0:20:53large pads to tap and swipe across to create the English alphabet.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00The QWERTY keyboard we're familiar with today was actually

0:21:00 > 0:21:04designed 150 years ago to stop the keys on a mechanical

0:21:04 > 0:21:09typewriter getting jammed up by speedy typists.

0:21:09 > 0:21:10And modern letter ordering systems

0:21:10 > 0:21:15have since been conceived such as Dvorak and KALQ,

0:21:15 > 0:21:19but we're still kind of tied to our old-school keyboards.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21The app is packed with smart features

0:21:21 > 0:21:24like intelligent predictive dictionaries

0:21:24 > 0:21:26and the ability to work across

0:21:26 > 0:21:29eight major European languages simultaneously.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32There will be a steep learning curve -

0:21:32 > 0:21:36switching over at first will feel a lot slower - but persevere,

0:21:36 > 0:21:40and you could enjoy average speeds of 30-40 words a minute,

0:21:40 > 0:21:45with the top speed recorded by 5-TILES users of 109 words per minute.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Since Twitter launched in 2006,

0:21:56 > 0:22:00over 300 billion tweets have been sent from around the globe,

0:22:00 > 0:22:04but have you ever wondered how many people have seen your tweets?

0:22:04 > 0:22:06TweetReach can answer that.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10Just enter a term you want to check and the app will report on who

0:22:10 > 0:22:15interacted with your tweets and how many potential accounts it reached.

0:22:15 > 0:22:19# I will follow you, will you follow me... #

0:22:21 > 0:22:25Once you know who is sharing particular types of content,

0:22:25 > 0:22:28you can make a note to send them an @message

0:22:28 > 0:22:30when you have something similar they might like.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34This ensures your posts don't go unnoticed in their timeline

0:22:34 > 0:22:37and also makes them feel appreciated for supporting you.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46Another good tool for managing your Twitter and Instagram accounts

0:22:46 > 0:22:49is JustUnfollow. It lets you see things like who's followed

0:22:49 > 0:22:53and unfollowed you recently and which accounts are inactive or

0:22:53 > 0:22:58not following you back, so could possibly be unfollowed if you like.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01# Cos breaking up is hard to do... #

0:23:01 > 0:23:05There are apps for IOS and Android and you can unfollow from within

0:23:05 > 0:23:08the dashboard, so breaking up isn't that hard after all.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12# Cos breaking up is hard to do. #

0:23:14 > 0:23:18Reddit is a discussion forum where pretty much anything goes.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21It's definitely not for the faint-hearted

0:23:21 > 0:23:26and in the Ask Me Anything section the bravest of netizens -

0:23:26 > 0:23:30everyone from air traffic controllers to astronauts -

0:23:30 > 0:23:33put themselves forward to be interrogated by the community.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36# I ask you a question and you give me a lie... #

0:23:36 > 0:23:39If you want to follow the Ask Me Anything interviews,

0:23:39 > 0:23:42there is now an official app for IOS and Android.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51What a great end to a pretty spectacular show,

0:23:51 > 0:23:52if I don't mind saying so myself.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54Hope you've enjoyed Click in Berlin too,

0:23:54 > 0:23:56and for more from us throughout the week

0:23:56 > 0:24:00it's bbc.co.uk/click and on Twitter of course we are @BBCClick.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03I'll leave you with the fireworks in Berlin.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Thanks for watching and we'll see you next time.
