On this week's SyrupCast, Daniel and Douglas are back to talk about what's been happening in the world of technology. They talk about the BlackBerry Priv (obviously) and whether it can stand up to what Daniel thinks is the best Android phone out there, the Nexus 6P.

Join Daniel and Douglas as they talk about the iPhone 6s's 3D Touch feature, the new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, Microsoft's bevy of hardware, and the BlackBerry Priv. Show Notes iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus review Nexus 6P Hands-on Nexus 5X Hands-on...

This week, Daniel and Douglas break down the highs and lows of the recent Apple event. The iPhone 6s looks like a big upgrade, but a 16GB base model is making a lot of people upset. Why would someone want an iPad Pro? We dig into the possibilities. And the Apple TV? Disruptor or me-too? Apple's plan for the future of television. Show notes Hands-on with the faster, stronger, pricier iPhone 6s and...

This week, Daniel and Douglas get into it about BlackBerry's acquisition of rival Good Technology. Is John Chen in it for himself, or does he have the best interests of BlackBerry in mind?

Finally, Rogers just unveiled its Sh...

This week, Douglas and Daniel stay firmly in the warm confines of Canadian telcos with an exploration of what's happening at Videotron and Wind Mobile.

Or will the CRTC pounce at the opportunity to ban the process of zero-rating in y...

This week, Daniel and Douglas talk about the big topic they missed last week: Alphabet. What spurred the move, and will it make Google a better-run company?

This week, Daniel and Douglas chat about Android's Nexus line, and how Google can get its groove back. We're hearing that  Huawei is going to be the company creating  (one of) this year's Nexus device(s), but can the Chinese OEM, known mainly outside North America, step up and deliver a great stock Android experience alongside Google? And what about BlackBerry? Now that it has  teamed up with Goog...

This week, Daniel and Douglas explore the many ways that Canadians roam. Rogers' Roam Like Home makes it very easy to roam in the U.S. and Europe, but is it actually a good deal? Also on the ticket is Sony's renewed investment in camera sensors, and whether Apple Music is worth the investment. Links Exploring roam choices for Canadians Rogers brings Roam Like Home to Europe Sony investing $4 billi...

This week, Douglas and Daniel go into Google I/O Rundown, talking about Google's strengths in machine learning and internet services.

And what's next for Apple, which is under pressure to deliver a similarly impressive software update at WWDC. Links:  Now on Tap, Androi...

This week, Douglas is back!  What, you want more? Fine: we also have a great conversation. The topics this week include the end of three-year contracts and the so-called Double Cohort, which will allow millions of Canadians to leave their contracts on June 3rd without paying a dime. Also on the cards are the rise of unlocked phones, and they relate to the relative value of phone contracts; as subs...
