Set up Fuze Meeting (http://www.fuzebox.com/products/fuzemeeting) before the show if you want to join in live.</p>

<p>It's Sunday night, and if you're not returning to Westeros for the fourth season of GoT (http://www.hbo.com/#/game-of-thrones), it's time for the TUAW talkcast (http://tuaw.com/tag/talkcast)!</p>

<p>In today's mobile startup landscape, the overcaffeinated, optimistic founders of the Next New Awesome have one big platform choice to make -- iPhone first, or Android first? In the US, despite shifting market share numbers, the answer is overwhelmingly "iPhone first," (http://stevecheney.com/why-android-first-is-a-myth/) but some developers go another way. Tonight's TechCrunch (http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/06/the-fallacy-of-android-first/) story from Emu's (http://emu.is/) Dave Feldman explains why the text-message startup chose to build for Android first, and why after sixteen months the team reversed course (http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/06/the-fallacy-of-android-first/), pulled the Android version and pivoted back to the iPhone. We'll discuss this, plus Amazon Fire TV (http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/02/amazons-fire-tv-hands-on/) versus the world; Apple's acquisition of Novauris (http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/03/speech-recognition-pioneer-novauris-bought-by-apple-team-now-works-on-siri/) lends hope for a smarter Siri; what Apple's hiring history means for the company's presumed foray into fitness and fashion; Mozilla's challenging week... and more!</p>

<p>Tonight, we're also welcoming special guests: The Mac Observer's Jeff Gamet (http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/contact/author/7702/Jeff%20Gamet) and the Pioneer Press's Julio Ojeda-Zapata (http://www.ojezap.com/). If you haven't seen Julio's recent post and video (http://www.ojezap.com/2014/03/i-have-a-grand-tech-festooned-though-cold-work-adventure-2) detailing how he covered a coal plant demolition in Minnesota (http://www.ojezap.com/2014/03/i-have-a-grand-tech-festooned-though-cold-work-adventure-2), or his son's crowdsourcing effort to send his robotics team to a national competition (http://www.ojezap.com/2014/04/son-robotics-pals-win-big/), please check them out.</p>

<p>Reminder on new-style talkcasting: With some help from the fine folks at Fuze (https://www.fuzebox.com/products/fuzemeeting), we're using a new system to record the show. This should let everyone listen in live -- and, if you want, raise your hand as you would in the Talkshoe room to get unmuted and chime in.</p>

<p>You can join the call in progress (meeting # is <strong>20099010</strong>) at 10 pm ET from any computer via this link (http://fuze.me/20099010); if you download the Mac or Windows Fuze clients (http://www.fuzebox.com/products/download) ahead of time, you'll get better audio and a slicker experience, but browser-only will work fine. Just click the phone icon to join the audio once you're in.</p>

<p>Using an iPhone or iPad? Grab the native clients from the App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/fuzebox-software-corporation/id290206249) and get busy. (Even Android users can join the party (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fuzebox.fuze.android&amp;hl=en).) Still feel like using the conventional phone dial-in? Just call <a href="tel:775-996-3562">775-996-3562[/url] and enter the meeting number 20099010, then press #.</p>

<p>While the Fuze web and native clients have a chat channel, we'd like to reserve that for host participants, requests to talk and other real-time alerts... so the full-on chat for the show will appear in this very post at 10 pm tonight. You'll need Twitter, Facebook or Chatroll (http://chatroll.com/signup?groupId=IvHQfNfuQ3N) credentials to participate in the chat. We'll remind everyone to check back in at that time.</p><p style="padding:5px;clear:both;">Talkcast tonight: Fire TV, iPhone-first development, and more!
