We are just two days from the Creative Suite 5 public debut. Yesterday afternoon, Kevin Lynch, Adobe CTO shared a few insights to this new release on the Adobe blog. He also shared his views on Apple's revised SDK license and what it means to millions of Flash developers.

Highlights on the new features of CS5:

• Social Computing Innovation: Allowing closer team collaboration within the Creative Suite tools
• Cloud and client Innovation: New cloud-based services such as Omniture for optimizing content and apps to drive greater revenue
• Multiscreen features: Enabling authoring for upcoming release of Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2 and making it easier for developers to target multiple devices and form factors

Hello Flash Juggler Users,

We are not back online and we are running some tests to be sure that all of our systems and modules are working perfectly.

In today's world, monetizing web video is largely experimental, and it's clear no one can predict which methods will prevail. Adobe understands this challenge and is taking a leadership position to help drive standards for media players. Adobe will provide a standard media player framework, code-named Strobe, to enable the creation and delivery of high-quality, monetized video experiences. Strobe simplifies the development of media players by allowing developers to assemble pluggable components from Adobe and partners in the Adobe® Flash® Platform ecosystem.

Adobe Systems will introduce voice-to-text functionality into the workflow of Flash video production soon.  Jim Guerard, who heads all rich media at Adobe, says in this exclusive video clip, that we will see this functionality later this year.
