In this week's tech chat we look at the latest offering from BlackBerry and check out the new Asus laptop-tablet hybrid.

We also discuss the amazing virtual reality technology that helped a husband watch his wife give birth from 4000km away.

Technology commentator and blogger Bill Bennett says the BlackBerry Classic looks just like the old-school phone that was such a hit before the iPhone and Android gobbled up its market share.

It's got a touchscreen now, and of course a faster processor, but it's still got the keyboard – which was always BlackBerry's biggest selling point.

Mr Bennett says it's brilliant for work, but with a smaller screen than other smartphones it's not so great for entertainment.
