Loiacono says that while Adobe is not abandoning desktop apps, it is examining the feasibility of replacing some desktop features with online functionality. Adobe is phasing out Version Cue with the CS5 release. The versioning system—which some users never embraced—has been a part of the Creative Suite since the collection was first introduced. In an effort to augment Flash to better appeal to non-coder designers, Adobe has launched Flash Catalyst CS5, a brand new product designed to bridge the gap between designers and programmers.
Flash Builder renamed from its previous Flex Builder moniker , targeted to coders, scripters, and database experts, is now also included in the Web Premium package. Speaking of Flash, a new Packager for iPhone tool would have allowed developers to use Flash to create apps for the iPhone, and then compile them to run on the Apple hardware. Adobe CS5 comes in four editions plus a Master Collection that contains all the programs.
All the editions ship with Illustrator, Bridge, and Device Central. While Acrobat Pro 9 ships with CS5, it has not been upgraded for the suite release. It'll also cover new Web-standards development tools, Edge and Muse.
And it'll include the Adobe Touch apps for tablets , a collection of six pro-oriented programs that just were launched for Android tablets. It may not be a great deal for Photoshop-only customers, but the more apps a person uses, the more compelling the offer becomes. Adobe hasn't released the month-to-month pricing for those skittish about a longer-term commitments. The changes to our upgrade policy, for customers who would like to continue to purchase CS software as a perpetual license, benefits customers who are on the latest versions of our software.
We have promotions that enable customers to upgrade to the latest CS version ahead of CS6 at a reduced rate--at the moment we are offering 20 percent off any upgrade to the latest version of their Adobe software.
A 20 percent discount helps cushion the blow for those who choose to keep buying software the same old way, of course. But it's clear Adobe has a lot more convincing--and explaining--to do. Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic. We delete comments that violate our policy , which we encourage you to read. Discussion threads can be closed at any time at our discretion.
