Dtest54, I’ve heard of Photoshop and have it installed at work (CS3 actually). Adobe does NOT have efficient code and is WAY too bloated. They need to focus some attention on some speed increases. I’m fully aware of Adobe’s professional products and they could use a rewrite. Powerful, yes. Efficient code, which is necessary for a mobile device, hardly. If I were *only* familiar with their mobile products, I’d probably have a better feeling about this…

I’m surprised that Blackberries are not in the list but it looks like they are targeting Windows Mobile first, which means Moto, Samsung and Palm gets a crack at it first.

McHale, you must not of heard of a little know program called Photoshop. yes they do make some less then great apps but they have some that are great and are industry standards.
If your only experience with Adobe is Reader and Flash player then move along.

That being said I was not a fan of their photoshop express and am skeptical they can do better with a mobile version.

“If there are two things that Adobe knows like the back of its collective hand, they are photos and mobile software.”

WHAT?!?!?

I would say they know “bloatware that crashes systems like the back of their hand.” How old is their Adobe Reader for the Windows Mobile devices? And why does their flash player crash constantly when trying to view REAL flash?

Please tell me you got a couple months of web hosting for free for this ad. WOW.

What I DON’T need is another non-updated piece of software that takes 10 megs and offers little value. I think I’ll pass on this one…
