CS5 announcment presentation
So, those who have seen the CS5 announcment presentation today, what did you think of it?
Me personally i really liked some features they´ve added to Photoshop and Aftter Effects, everything else felt really meh to me.
Overall presentation wise they pulled off quite some work there what with the transitions and background animation behind presenters, though that all also made it feel not lively at all and quite staged, which of course it also is.
What felt especially weird to me was that the presentation was so short and they haven´t talked about many tools in the suite at all and even those they talked about where squeezed into very brief sections.
It felt quite ridiculous to me that they constantly repeated they would "love to show way more of the great features but had no time for that".
How come, is their web server running out of streaming bandwidth or what?
:)
Sorry, but yeah, when people are for the last few years more and more complaining that there aren´t enough improvements and additions to many apps to warrant an upgrade such a cheap excuse for not showing the stuff propperly at a web presentation is really almost ironic to me :)
I also wondered heavily about them not only talking about their deploy to iPhone feature for Flash CS5 but actually explicitly saying that it allows to deploy the created apps to the app store.
I think Adobe is playing a huge bluff there what with the recent news regarding flash made apps probably not being allowed onto the app store and if then at the end flash made apps are really not allowed onto the app store that could even lead to a class action lawsuit against Adobe because the product does not work as advertised.
