Adobe Announces Adobe Device Central CS4 for Mobile Testing

Together with the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product line announcement, Adobe today announced Adobe Device Central CS4 software, a testing and preview environment for mobile content. As an integrated component across the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product line, Adobe Device Central CS4 allows developers to test the rich content and Flash Player compatible videos for mobile phones and consumer electronics devices. With more than 450 dynamically updated device profiles, Device Central CS4 enables users to easily test content designed in Adobe Creative Suite 4 product line.


“With the next generation of tools in Creative Suite 4 and Device Central CS4, Adobe empowers creative professionals to bring great new content to a broad set of mobile platforms,” said Gary Kovacs, vice president and general manager of Mobile and Devices at Adobe. “Device Central CS4 dramatically simplifies the testing process and reduces production time to bring rich and consistent end-user experiences to hundreds of the latest device models worldwide.”

A new searchable online library of device profiles from major handset manufacturers worldwide allows creative professionals to identify appropriate devices and create and organize mobile projects for all media types, including video, images and Web content. Users can simulate content performance over a network, record a sequence of actions to an editable script, and test the script across devices to identify any potential problems with the content. By taking snapshots at certain frames during the test, users can easily create storyboards and show clients how the content is displayed on a variety of devices.

To share mobile designs with others, Device Central CS4 allows users to capture video recordings of testing sequences and export it to a high-quality movie file based on the H.264 format. Additionally, developers can easily publish mobile content to an FTP server or send it directly to the device via Bluetooth. Adobe Device Central CS4 is scheduled to ship in October 2008.

Available soon for T-Mobile customers spanning two continents, the T-Mobile G1 combines full touch-screen functionality and a QWERTY keyboard with a mobile Web experience that includes the Google Maps Street View, Gmail, YouTube and others.


T-Mobile customers in the U.S. have the opportunity to pre-order the T-Mobile G1, in limited quantities, beginning today at www.T-MobileG1.com. The device will be available at select T-Mobile retail stores and online in the U.S. beginning Oct. 22, for a price of $179 with a two-year voice and data agreement. The T-Mobile G1 will also be available in the United Kingdom beginning in November, and across Europe in the first quarter of 2009. Countries include Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and the Netherlands.

With one-click contextual search, T-Mobile G1 customers in a flash can search for relevant information with a touch of a finger. A full HTML Web browser allows users to see any Web page the way it was designed to be seen, and then easily zoom in to expand any section by simply tapping on the screen.

The T-Mobile G1 features a rich HTML e-mail client, which seamlessly syncs your e-mail, calendar and contacts from Gmail as well as most other POP3 or IMAP e-mail services. The T-Mobile G1 multitasks, so you can read a Web page while also downloading your e-mail in the background. It combines Instant Messaging support for Google Talk, as well as AOL, Yahoo! Messenger and Windows Live Messenger in the U.S.
