Mobile COW Library

We appreciate the help that many of you have been in helping us debug the COW's new MOBI interface. The system is now well underway and most all the areas have been lit up and can now be accessed. So over the course of the new few newsletters, we would like to introduce Creative COW users to the new mobile COW and what it brings to you and how it works. Because our Library is so popular, we'd like to start there...

The Creative COW Library is now available in a convenient travel size for those using phones like the iPhone, Blackberry, Treo and many others. But due to the differences in support for various technologies like Flash -- which Apple has not added to the iPhone -- our mechanism watches for your phone and serves up the articles that you can see. For phones able to deal with Flash files, you will be able to access the COW's rich repository of Flash-based tutorial content. iPhone users won't find a bunch of broken links as we have filtered out the Flash content to save you the frustration of trying to access articles that you cannot play.

If you haven't yet had a chance to visit the new mobile COW website, please point your cell phone to http://mobi.creativecow.net

If you find a bug or want to suggest a feature, please visit us in the COWmunications forum.

COW Master Series Training DVD's
Internet Killed the Video StarInternet Killed the Video Star
A Guide to Creating Video for the Web
$49.95

It seems like the only choices for web video are files that are too big, or files that look awful. Creative Cow's Aharon Rabinowitz shows you what you need to make your video look its best in Flash, on the web, and for podcasts. You'll learn how to get you video content on the web, looking as good as it possibly can, ready to reach the largest audience possible. You'll also learn why this is the fastest-selling DVD in Creative Cow Master Series history: if you do compression, you need this disk.
