Having already rolled out fortnightly podcasts, Macworld is adding video to our bag of tricks. Welcome to the first installment of the Macworld Video Podcast, which offers all the Mac talk of our regular podcast with moving pictures to boot.
Look for us to post at least one video podcast each month—with the possibility of additional videos if we get our hands on some cool hardware we can’t wait to share with you or as other events warrant. While this first video takes a closer look at some of the items featured in our Holiday Gear Guide from the December 2006 issue of Macworld , look for future editions to offer lots of tips, tricks, and instructional how-tos. Of course, if there’s something you’d like to see in future video podcasts, let us know by posting a comment via the forum thread below.
