NB: Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen announced that a mobile implementation of the full Flash Player 10 would be making its way onto several smartphones by October. In addition to Android, other mobile operating systems, including Windows Mobile, Palm’s WebOS, and Symbian have signed on. Missing from that list, to absolutely no one’s surprise, is the iPhone.
This is a new trend it seems, most of the everyday application Mac lovers use have been updated to be Snow Leopard compatible through beta versions; as a result you won’t be notified of these released through your applications’ update menus.

For instance, Xtorrent has been released to a 2.0 beta v80, and CoverSutra to a 2.2 beta 5.
Even Appfresh won’t notify you of these updates. Solution? Visit developers’ blogs/sites.
- Not all third party softwares will be supported: Many rumors said Adobe CS3 won’t be supported, but it seems according to many beta tester it does work as well as many other applications.
- Invisible changes: do not expect for graphical improvement, this update is a performing boost taking all advantages of 64 bits. That means all apps included with Snow Leopard have been rewritten for 64-bit processors. Apps coded by third-party developers who opt to rewrite their software with 64-bit support will also be snappier.
- End of PPC: As you can see in this post, the PPC platform won’t be supported in this release.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on the Mac, one of the applications I use the most.
Still the same interface as Acrobat 8.

Acrobat 9 is also bigger (more than 1 giga of HD space) than the previous version (800 mb approx).
The upgrade from version 8 is $159; it also comes bundled with the new released Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 (upgrade from CS3 is $159). But it loads much faster than the previous version, it’s very impressive indeed… I even thought I was launching the reader so much it was strange.
Anyway; the main new feature in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro is the inclusion of Flash support, enhanced collaboration tools like PDF Portfolios, and improved print production tools.
