Adobe CS Review (New!) is an integrated online service that provides
a simple way for CS5 users to quickly share their designs on the Web
so others can provide feedback. A review of a CS5 document can be
initiated from within Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. Reviewers, on
the other hand, don’t need the native program to perform a review. It’s
all done online in a browser along with the Flash Player installed. When
you provide feedback in CS Review online, the information and any
comments or requests are displayed back in the originating CS5 docu-
ment where the owner can respond. CS Review online provides secu-
rity options to control who can participate in a review and management
options to support the Review process.

Testing your content on as many different devices as possible allows
you to reach a wider audience. Adobe Device Central makes it easy to
test your content on a wide variety of different mobile devices in one
place. Device Central provides a library of devices from which to
choose, and each device includes a profile with information about the
device, including media and content support types. Device Central uses
an emulator to simulate the way your content will look on a selected
device. An emulator is not the same as the real device. However, it
allows you to quickly test devices to get initial results.
