Like many companies, Adobe is faced with layoffs, downsizing in certain areas and refocusing on new and potentially new markets. And of course THE places to be for a large graphic design software company these days are cloud-based services, digital publishing, and tablet apps. Adobe has rolled out Creative Cloud, to store, share and collaborate on design projects, an impressive series of upgrades for Adobe Touch Apps, (currently available for Android 3.1 tablets,) including the first tablet version of Photoshop, and a vector-based app called Adobe Ideas. On Adobe's website there's a "Notify Me" button for iOS versions of the apps so it looks like an iPad version is on the way. Adobe says that the touch apps and the cloud are totally integrated with the existing Creative Suite desktop applications and this is all a preview, of sorts, of what will be rolled out in 2012. - Mark Gould
