Adobe News
It's MAX week - Adobe's big developer event - and they are expected to announce and show some interesting things, including Project Rome, a publishing tool for home users, an update to AIR, and most interestingly, the iPad (and other devices) digital publishing tool for InDesign.Terry White has a demo of the later tool on his blog. The digital publishing tool consists of an authoring extension to InDesign for adding interactive content (like video) and exporting the final project, as well as a Reader application for the iPad. You publish documents and then people will be able to load them onto their iPad and display them using the Reader app (which Adobe will distribute for free.)
