Today we launched the new Adobe Creative Suite 4, which represents a massive step forward for the mobile developer.  As part of the Suite, and included with the point products the new Adobe Device Central CS4 includes many new features.

We listened to your feedback and our engineering and product team are rightly very proud of this release.  Here are some of the highlights:

• Online device library
• Fully automatic publish/update of device profiles
• Local Library for storing and sharing the profiles that interest you
• Project enabled – ready for working in teams
• Task SDK for automation and for Mobile Packaging
• Send your content by Bluetooth to your device or by FTP
• Record and create test scripts to run across many devices automatically.
• Produce test reports with screen shots automatically
• Video demo recording
• Improved FLV support
• Network traffic sniffing
• Not to forget the nifty Vibrate test

Clearly there are many other improvements and fixes, the integration to After Effects is a huge benefit for mobile video production.  I expect that many developers focussing on mobile and devices will consider the new suite a must have upgrade.
