"Bwahaha!" Says Adobe, "We Were Behind Wired‘s iPad Magazine All Along!"

After Wired‘s June edition became the best selling app in the iPad App Store, Adobe revealed that their software was behind it – the previously unannounced Adobe Digital Publishing Technologies.

There’s not much to hear about the new publishing software yet, other than it integrates with the CS5 suite – InDesign in particular – to create multimedia-rich digital magazines, books and newspapers. Apple may have kept Adobe’s original Air-based Wired app off the iPad, but no one can keep Adobe, makers of the most popular media creation software in existence, out of the game entirely. [Adobe]

    And, Adobe will notice, as evidenced by the Popular Mechanics app that the Wired app is something like 10 times as big, which does similar things. Somewhat proving that Flash is similar to bloatware.

    perhaps that explains why it’s 500MB!

    clearly waiting until everyone bought it. otherwise all the Apple fanboys would have heard it was Adobe and dismissed it immediately.

    as for its size? well its hard to come up with a new format every 2 weeks when apple is without reason banning all your other ones.

      Hey Matt, judging by your comments you are clearly not aware that the original code for photoshop was written on a macintosh plus which eventuated in the release of Photoshop in 1990 for Macintosh exclusively. Apple loves Adobe and vice versa.
