The real problem I’m having now is that the touch apps only currently work for Android 3.1 where was we are now in Android 4.0 and 4.1 for the best and latest devices including the Google Nexus 7.

[I can speak only for Photoshop Touch, the current version 1.2 of which which was certified on Android 4.0. --J.]

As much as I want this flagship Android Device, I’m hesitating to get it just based on waiting for Adobe to make Touch Apps compatible with it since the Adobe Touch Apps are my main reason for buying an Android Tablet (I hate iPad…) so I don’t want to get an outdated tablet just to have these apps.

I’m not sure you have the requisite IQ to join this, or frankly any other, conversation, Larry.

So 18 quid becomes 21.60 straight off the bat.

Exchange rates move considerably, most companies would set a rate internally for pricing, so that would account for some difference, too. That could easily account for a couple of quid, so let’s call 23 in even money to be nice.

Then you have the cost of local support. It costs more to do business in the UK than it does in the US (cost of living is higher, etc etc). Basically, you’re paying 4 quid to cover that.

Sure, there may be other marketing and revenue factors involved, but there’s most of the difference for you.

Regarding the free month — Had I not already the suite, what good would one free month be? I can already download a one month demo for CS6.

I think if I had never bought CS, or my last purchase was a couple of versions old, the subscription model might make sense. But it just doesn’t save me anything on CS compared to upgrading. And I don’t dare switch over just to test the other subscription features, since once I’ve switched, CS6 dies if I decide I don’t need them.

I’m an early adopter in general, but the CCloud still seems to make little sense for a customer in my situation.

Many businesses will benefit from that if they allow recurring payments, especially with good IT that either pushes updates or allows immediate client updates. It remains to be seen if this model works well for small houses and individuals.

On the topic of being grossed out by promotional posts, well… seriously? Do you not understand whose blog this is, and why it’s here? And that a major release just went out? Why don’t you count the number of ‘promotional’ entries and compare them to the whole. Then consider that even the promotional entries have useful information, such as explaining how to get the touch apps reimbursed.

Anyone who is not crystal clear that the subscription model is made for Adobe, and NOT for the user should take a break, step back, and re-evaluate. Puh-leeease!

[Based on what do you say it? You can't know how hard people here have worked to make this as easy as possible for customers. --J.]

These promotional posts are pretty much grossing me out and I’m thinking the content that used to be useful from this blog is waning, to say the least.

[Jesus, I just can't please you people, can I? --J.]

most creatives pay for their iOS devices and their company pays for the creative suites from adobe. this model is a hoax for most situations and makes no sense.

[There are limits to what we can do in the context of today's app stores. If there were better viable alternatives, we'd be pursuing them. --J.]

eiher give me the apps some easy way or don’t. but making me pay for them up front is not free.

nice try.

Thanks again!
