From InfoWorld: Adobe on Friday will announce the availability of the Creative Suite (CS) 5 family, which enables the development of content and applications for the upcoming Flash Player 10.1 and AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) 2.

CS5 will be available in five versions: Master Collection, for design and development; the Design Premium toolkit for designers; Web Premium, for building Web sites; Production Premium, for video production; and Design Standard, for print design. Also featured is the Flash Catalyst design interaction tool and 15 point products and associated technologies, Adobe said.

"Whatever the media, CS5 is ensuring that publishers and creatives can deliver stand-out work and build great businesses around their unique digital assets and content," said John Loiacono, senior vice president of creative solutions at Adobe, in a statement released by the company.

Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2, meanwhile, focus on mobile screens and native device capabilities.
