Finally! After a great week of feature lists (by Ted Patrick) and quite some speculations on when the beta of Flex 3 would see its first daylight, here it is! It just got released together with the beta of Adobe AIR, which is the new name for Apollo and a new update for Flash Player 9. There is a big list on the Adobe Labs Wiki with a lot of Feature Introductions concerning Flex 3. It looks very promissing and great!

Download the new stuff from Adobe Labs or directly from:

Flex 3 Beta
Adobe AIR (Apollo)
Flash Player 9 update

Adobe Flex Cookbook BETA

A few days ago, Adobe released the BETA version of the Flex Cookbook. I was trying to get to it but my browser only showed the titlebar and didn’t load any content. This seems to be an Opera-only problem because in Firefox and IE it works fine. At the Flex cookbook you can share Flex and ActionScript 3.0 code with the world and find nice examples made by others. You can easily find solutions to your problems this way and also leave a comment. This is a great resource!

Adobe releases Photoshop CS3 BETA via Adobe Labs

Last week, Photoshopuser.com posted a review of the new Photoshop CS3 which is now available for download from the Adobe Labs website.As with every new release, this one comes with a lot of cool new features. One of the major differences seems to be the user interface. This new version is probably the most customizable interface of Photoshop yet.Users who get scared by this idea, don’t worry. You can switch back to the ‘old’ Photoshop layout with one click on a button, but the new interface is certainly worth a try and once you will get used to it you probably don’t want to change back to the ‘old’ layout. For a full list of new features, check out the Adobe Labs website or read the full review @ Photoshopuser.com.
