Whether you are surprised or not, the release of Creative Suite 5 is approaching. Rumors are even suggesting that the package will be ready to ship as early as April 2010! (http://cs5.org/?p=136). Adobe however, are playing their cards close to their chest and refuse to give an official release date.
One element that seems to be at the forefront of CS5 however is Flash CS5 in which Adobe are boasting some interesting new features. None more so than the support to build and compile native iPhone apps within Flash. 'Flash Professional CS5 will enable you to build applications for iPhone and iPod touch using ActionScript 3. These applications can be delivered to iPhone and iPod touch users through the Apple App Store.' Adobe (2009). Other new features include; advanced text styling, XML based FLA's, code hinting (finally!!!), code snippets and Flash builder integration.
Developers will be able to download a public beta version of Flash CS5 before the end of this year. 'The next major release of Adobe® Flash® Professional was unveiled at Adobe MAX 2009. The beta download will be available before the end of the year.' Adobe (2009).
