Adobe Illustrator and InDesign for the iPad coming soon? Adobe asks for feedback..
I have been monitoring the Adobe blogs for a while and never have a seen a post generate so many comments and excitement than this one from Jack Nack:
If Adobe made an iPad app…
“…or apps for other tablets and/or smartphones, for that matter, what would you want it to be?”

We reported last week that we should not count out the iPad just yet (iPad iFail). The iPhone should have provided us with a good lesson. And if I see these enthusiastic comments, then surely the iPad has an interesting future amongst creatives, a market many see as key for a launch of any Apple product:
“…Adobe Creative Suite is another app I would like to see (on the Apple iPad), but only Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and InDesign. These four application makes mobile print production absolutely possible on the go, and provides the ability for company and clients to make print production on the fly, on the go...”

Jack is quick to note, no promises, but from the feedback he received, I would imagine there will be a few meetings at ADBE soon! So printers, what iPad apps would you like to see? It is looking more and more like a great opportunity for both printers and print-buyers this iPad.
Just as Apple with their Macintosh computers were the foundations of DTP or desktop publishing, now 25 years in the running; those very type of users, the creatives of today, may very well be the key to the iPad’s success. iSaidso or better said, iThink. (That whole “i” thing is a whole other post!)

If Adobe wants to gain a lead in the ebook market they needs to get upstream with the creation of the product. The iPad is going to be HUGE!!! The list of naysayers when the first iPod was released was long and distinguished. Now that they have all eaten plenty of helpings of crow, its time for them to learn from their mistakes and understand that the iPad is going to take text book publishers and the entire publishing industry into a direction they couldn’t go on their own.
Adobe needs to start leading again. If they were to take a leadership stance on this, they would have had a demo of illustrator or photoshop on the iPad at the launch, but they blew that. They need to step up and start innovating again!

I agree this thing is going to sell well, although it may take Adobe some time to come around.
