Adobe Photoshop Touch for iPad 2 Now Officially Available
The app has now returned to the App Store [direct link], where it is available for $9.99. As previously noted, the app is currently compatible only with the iPad 2 running iOS 5.
Transform images with core Adobe Photoshop features in an app designed for tablets.
Combine images, apply professional effects, share results with friends and family through sites like Facebook, and more – all from the convenience of your iPad.
Adobe's initial goal for the iPad was to explore how the device might be used as an auxiliary input for the desktop version, but the company has broadened its scope to now include at least some of the dedicated image editing features from Photoshop in its latest apps.
Update: MacStories has a nice early review of the app.

No iPad 1 compatibility? I thought fragmentation was supposed to be Android's Achilles heel? :rolleyes:
Fragmentation occurs when new devices come out with older, or different/cloned, versions of the OS. According to this article, "Gingerbread is still adding devices 14 times faster than ICS".
No thanks to watered down apps. I'll wait for a tablet with a full desktop OS. That would be Windows 8. That's when Photoshop on a tablet will be worth it.

You can already buy a Windows tablet and run Photoshop on it. If you mean an ARM-based Windows tablet, well then just realize that they won't run any x86 applications. And there is no guarantee Adobe will port the full version of Photoshop; Considering that ARM-based Windows tablets will be targeted towards the same market as the iPad, it may in fact only get this version.
I did a few of the tutorials and everything.
I think that it's not officially supported on an iPad 1 but it does run. There's no restrictions that prevent it from running on one.

A developer choosing to limit an app to second generation hardware is not fragmentation. Do you complain when all the new Xbox 360 games don't run on the original Xbox?
Nice price..but bits like "Maximum image resolution: 1600 x 1600 pixels" puts me off a little bit..
Probably due to memory.
As for running "the whole photoshop" on a windows tablet: Just cross your fingers that the windows tablet will arrive with at least 8GB RAM.

Adobe Photoshop Touch for iPad 2 - $9.99
Adobe Photoshop desktop version for Windows 8 tablet - $699.99
hmm, I'll take the one for $9.99
I wonder when someone in the media will ask Adobe about that. :eek:
It'll be interesting to see how well this app does. Some would say that tablets offer a better interface (touch) for manipulating images.
Yes, finger painting has been the superior way of manipulating images for the history of the world. :D
Stylus based tablets would be even better, evidenced by the decades of stylus based tablet designs for desktops, by vendors such as Wacom.
