Sonos support saga, new Philips OLED TV and Xero interviewed - Pocket-lint Podcast 37
The Pocket-lint Podcast episode 37 is available now and there are some hot topics on the table this week.
With Sonos announcing that it is stopping support for some of its "legacy" products, associate editor Dan joins Stuart to discuss what it means for Sonos speaker users and other manufacturers in the future.
Meanwhile, late last year Stuart hosted a couple of fireside chats with several guest speakers at Xerocon. He used his backstage pass access to catch up with the co-founder and managing director of Xero, Gary Turner who explained how the company is embracing technology like AI in order to make chasing late payments easier.
Finally, fresh back from Amsterdam, senior editor of news and features Rik gives us his first impressions of the Philips OLED 855 and 805 TVs, with their AI-driven picture processing and Ambilight technology.
