WHAT IS NEW

Reader Question of the MonthNow with 3G Safari To Go for the iPad
In case you missed it, we recently released v2.1 of the Safari To Go app for the iPad. Subscribers now have complete access to the library (books + videos) and all of the app’s features anywhere you have a 3G connection. Other upgrades in v2.1 include enhanced single page bookmarking, allowing you to find the most useful information again quickly, and the ability to return to precisely the last place you left in any titles you’ve started. So, if you have an iPad, make sure you visit the app store to download or update Safari To Go.

If you don’t have an iPad, remember you can access all of the content in Safari Books Online on any mobile device with a browser at our recently redesigned m.safaribooksonline.com. And we’re hard at work developing apps for other mobile devices – so stay tuned!

January Awards – CODiE and Brandon Hall
We love customer feedback. And in large part because of your feedback and support, Safari Books Online was honored in January with a pair of industry awards. Our service was named a winner in 27th Annual CODiE Awards, held Jan. 24 in New York City, in the category of Best Consumer Information Resource. And then we claimed a bronze prize in the Brandon Hall Bronze 2011 Technology Excellence awards in the category of Mobile Learning Technology.
So thank you for your continued feedback – keep it coming!

Congratulations to last month’s winner, Jose J.!
In the spirit of New Year’s resolutions, what topic do you want to learn more about this year and why? This year, I want to acquire expertise in Apple's Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5 apps. I run a small company, and I'm very excited by FCPX's elegant workflow and the ability to create professional-quality screencasts and videos for my business. With 7 books and 5 video tutorials on FCPX already available on Safari Books Online, I have all the resources I need to accomplish my goal!
