SyrupCast Episode 3: Canada Day Google I/O Spectacular

Published: July 3, 2014, 2:37 a.m.

This week, we talk about Android, Android and more Android. Oh, and BlackBerry. And LG. And Bell.

Google I/O just ended, but that doesn't mean we have to finish talking about the many Android-related announcements made during the two-day developer conference.

Daniel Bader and Douglas Soltys dive into Android L and its new Material Design language, Android One, Android TV, Android Auto and Android Wear.

  • Will Material Design help end Android fragmentation?
  • What is Android One, and is it Google's preamble to Android Silver?
  • How good is Android TV? And what about Android Auto?
  • We delve into Android Wear and its newest cohorts, the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live. Our first impressions and a preview of the review.
  • Will the Moto 360 be the best of the bunch? (We think so!)
  • In Canadian news, Bell begins charging for SIM cards.
  • We saw the first working video of the BlackBerry Passport -- how does it look?
  • With the LG G3 coming to Canada soon, how does it stack up to the current list of high-end Android devices?
