TUAW TV Live: Steve's Top Picks of 2012

Today on TUAW TV Live, I'll be going through my favorite new items for 2012 and asking the chat room participants to jump in and add their opinions. Whether it's your favorite iPhone 5 case of the year or the best new Mac photo app you've had a chance to buy, it's time to talk about it on the show 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! However, if someone else is doing the driving, you can watch the show on your iPhone and join the chat by downloading the free Ustream App. It's a universal app and is wonderful on an iPad, both for viewing and participating in the chat. You can join the chat in IRC if you'd like: server chat1.ustream.tv, chat room #tuaw-tv. 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.

We'll start at about 5 PM ET, so if you're seeing a prerecorded show, be sure to refresh your browser until you see the live stream. For those of you who are not able to join us for the live edition, you'll be able to view it later this evening on our TUAW Video YouTube channel and as part of the TUAW TV Live podcast viewable in iTunes or on any of your Apple devices.
