As I predicted in my Acrobat 9 review, CS4 was soon to come. I was right; CS4 was formally announced on September 23, and it will be in our hands soon, very soon. I've been lucky enough to obtain a pre-release copy and have been pounding on it right and left to see what there is to see. Adobe has been maintaining their "about every eighteen months update," routine, but this time is breaking new ground by releasing 17 new programs all at one time. The problem with this type of approach is that there are a few features that seem rushed and not as developed as I think they should/could be, and will instead be "finished" with CS5, while other features that were presented with CS3 are now beautifully developed in CS4. While one can argue the pluses and minuses of this approach (and there are many arguments each way), one does have to sit back and continue to be amazed at how much Adobe does accomplish with each iteration of the Creative Suite suites and applications—that's both collectively and individually.

The new iPod revisions Jobs unveiled on Tuesday are quite substantive updates, notwithstanding a lot of ho-hum reaction from the media tech commentariat, which had made up its collective mind before the fact that Apple's Special Event was going to be "underwhelming," and that has certainly been the dominant spin. I think the new iPods are just fine, and I would be delighted to own any of them
