TUAW TV Live at 5 PM ET: Unboxing extravaganza
Today's TUAW TV Live is going to be an hour-long live unboxing orgy, since manufacturers have been pushing out all sorts of great new products in preparation for the upcoming holiday buying season. Join me this afternoon as I try to dig my way out of the avalanche of boxes and see what's new in the world of Apple. We also have yesterday's announcements to sift through. Could you believe all of the great new products that Apple announced? At least one of them will be making it to my house later this year. As usual, I'll be starting the show at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT / 10 PM BST) sharp, and we'll take a few minutes to chat before the demos start. To join in on the chat and watch the live streaming video, drop by TUAW about five minutes before the start time to get your instructions on how to participate. If you're unable to join us for the show, remember that you can always subscribe to the video podcast and watch the show at your leisure in iTunes or any other favorite podcatching app. The past shows are also available on the TUAW YouTube channel. The chat is on IRC: join us on server chat1.ustream.tv, chat room #tuaw-tv.
TUAW TV Live: Blogging in LA
Yeah, so I'm in LA right now. That doesn't mean that I'm hitting the beaches, cruising the freeways, or surfing. No, I'm here with Bionic Barb (she's attending a conference), and basically I'm working on my TUAW writing and doing some edits on a book. What it does mean is that I'm really sick and tired of being holed up in this hotel, so it's going to be a refreshing change of pace to chat with all of you on TUAW TV Live today. Below, you'll find a Ustream livestream viewer and a chat tool. The chat tool allows you to participate by asking questions or making comments. You'll be watching the show in glorious HD! If you're driving somewhere and would like to watch TUAW TV Live while you're stuck in traffic, please don't -- keep your eyes on the road!

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM ET: Live from LA
This week, I'm in Los Angeles, Calif. While I can't guarantee that today's show will come from poolside (the hotel I'm staying at is really close to LAX and the airplane noise might be a bit loud), I can assure you that we'll have a chance to chat about our favorite fruit-flavored consumer electronics company today. And there's a lot to talk about! Apple has teased the world with invitations to an event on October 23, I've fallen in love with a new social media app (Lightt), and there are also a number of software and hardware announcements that have made their way into my inbox since last Wednesday. As usual, I'll be starting the show at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT / 10 PM BST) sharp, and we'll take a few minutes to chat before the demos start. To join in on the chat and watch the live streaming video, drop by TUAW about five minutes before the start time to get your instructions on how to participate.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT
It's Wednesday again already! That means it's time for another episode of TUAW TV Live. I don't really have a topic today, so I invite all of our regular and new viewers to join in on the chat and ask questions or bring up things they'd like to talk about. Some of our most memorable moments of TUAW TV have come about as a result of chatroom banter, so this should be fun. As usual, I'll be starting the show at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT / 10 PM BST) sharp, and we'll take a few minutes to chat before the demos start.

Woxom's SlingShot stabilizes your iPhone videos; lets klutzes shoot landscape
If there's something I hear a lot of when I post videos it's "Why don't you shoot the farking thing landscape?" That, and "Your voice is sooooo annoying." The reason? My hands are small, weak and wobbly. So when Steve showed the Woxom SlingShot on TUAW TV Live a week or two ago, I volunteered to give it a hands-on. A bit on the pricey side, at US$19.95 retail, the SlingShot lets you slide your phone in sideways and hold it with one hand, using the same muscle groups you'd use for gripping it in portrait position. That's not a big deal for many iPhone owners, but it is for me because: 1. I shoot a lot of how-to video, where I have to manipulate equipment with one hand and shoot it with the phone in the other hand; and 2. The aforementioned wobbliness. When I try to hold the phone in landscape while doing all this, I can't capture a stable enough image. Even typical, unimpaired users will benefit from the stability, but quite frankly you probably don't want to be carrying this thing around if you don't have to. Plus, most people can hold their phone landscape using one or two hands with successful results. It worked beautifully in my testing, exactly as advertised, producing a much steadier landscape video than I could capture without the device. What's more, the gadget had a bunch of unexpected bonus features. First, the handle is very adjustable. You can shoot with either hand, and the device accommodates your needs. That's important because you need to put your phone in with the camera towards the top, and placed so the holders don't interfere with its visual field. Second, there's a built-in tripod that pops out of and into the handle. If you don't mind your camera being about 3-inches above the ground, the SlingShot will stabilize it for you without any need to hold it. Finally, if you unscrew the handle there's a final treat. The holder uses tripod threading, so you can connect it to any standard tripod. I found the holder itself to be steady, gripping my phone even when shaken -- I did not, obviously, whip the thing around. (I'm under a two-year contract with AT&T and would rather not have to buy another iPhone full price.) The material is quite light and I do worry about the possibility of it cracking under normal use. Had the unit cost about $6.95 or so, I'd say it would be a no-brainer. Just buy it. At nearly $20, this is more a buy recommendation for anyone who needs extra stabilization. I cannot recommend it, off-label, as an assistive device for anyone with shaking and palsy. The holder covers too much of the screen and home button for that kind of use. If you can benefit from the image stabilization for landscape photography, the SlingShot will help do the job for you. It's a neat little device that offers more than it first appears to and I enjoyed playing with it a lot.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: Steve's back!
I'm tanned, rested and ready after cruising the Atlantic coast of Europe for two weeks, so it's time to get back to the weekly fun and chaos that is TUAW TV Live. Today, my very special guest will be our very own Brett Terpstra.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: Using the best camera
Back in 2009, professional photographer Chase Jarvis coined the phrase "The best camera is the one that's with you" in reference to his work with the iPhone's built-in camera. His book, app, and website inspired a lot of other photographers to start doing more professional work with iPhones, and for the amateurs in the crowd, he gave us a reason to experiment more with iPhoneography. I've done a few TUAW TV Live shows focused (no pun intended) on photography with the iPhone, and today we'll explore more apps and accessories to help you get the best possible photographs and video from your favorite phone. As usual, I'll be starting the show at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT / 10 PM BST) sharp, and we'll take a few minutes to chat before the demos start.

TUAW TV Live: Now with fewer ads, more Steve and Victor
I'm happy to announce that we won't be moving from Ustream to YouTube, at least not for the foreseeable future. Ustream will now show one advertisement at the beginning of the stream and there will be no further interruptions to your viewing pleasure. In addition, the live stream and chat will be available through our Facebook page. Just point your browser here to watch the show and chat with other viewers while you're on Facebook. Victor Agreda, Jr., the editor-in-chief of TUAW, is my guest today on TUAW TV Live. Possible topics for today include AT&T's nasty "be glad that we let you run built-in apps on your iPhone" response to people's concerns about the company's FaceTime over cellular plans, a look at some new items that have popped into the TUAW Labs, and a glance at perhaps the sweetest iPad case ever.

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: The Once and Future Editor-In-Chief
This afternoon I'm happy to have the former editor-in-chief of TUAW as well as the new editor-in-chief of TUAW on the show with me. Yes, our very own Victor Agreda, Jr., well-known for his excellent video interviews of developers and his amazing hair, will be on the show today talking to me about whatever we decide are valid topics. I have a feeling that AT&T might be a topic of discussion... Note that the show will still be on Ustream today and I'll have some good news to report to the audience... As usual, I'll be starting the show at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT / 10 PM BST) sharp, and we'll take a few minutes to chat before the demos start.

TUAW TV Live: Dog day demos
It's still hotter than the blazes here in Colorado, but there are starting to be some signs of cooler days ahead. But while the heat is still set on "high", I'll take the opportunity to show you some cool things that have come out of the minds of developers and manufacturers around the world. I'd also like to take a quick poll of our viewers today (see poll below). Many of you are tired of the parade of interruptions from Ustream ads, although those ads are what enable us to broadcast for free. We have used YouTube before; their ads seem to be much less obtrusive and annoying. There's only one problem -- some viewers in European countries, Germany in particular, cannot watch the live stream without coming in through some sort of proxy. So the poll question is this -- should TUAW TV Live move to YouTube or stay on Ustream? %Poll-77137% And now on with the show! Below, you'll find a Ustream livestream viewer and a chat tool. The chat tool allows you to participate by asking questions or making comments. You'll be watching the show in glorious HD!

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: All demos, all the time
Do you have a free hour at 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT)? Then spend it with me and the usual cast of chatroom regulars on TUAW TV Live as I demo a pile of new products today. I not only have a lot of new accessories to take a look at, but some fascinating new or updated iOS and Mac apps as well.

TUAW TV Live: Bloggers talk about blogging tools
Good morning, afternoon, or evening, depending on what part of the world you're coming in from! Today we're going to be talking about blogging tools on TUAW TV Live. I consider personal journals to be a kind of self-blog, so those tools will be covered as well. Of course, I can't use every blogging app out there, so I'm looking forward to hearing what the denizens of the chat room have to share. I'll also have a special guest on the show today -- former Cylon sensation Mike Rose. Below, you'll find a Ustream livestream viewer and a chat tool.

TUAW TV Live: Doc and Steve judge the Apple gymnastics team
OK, not really. But I had to think of something that brought the 2012 Olympics into focus. How about those Team USA women gymnasts?!
