The Advent Vega tablet shipped late last year but quickly had its Flash Player pulled due to a little spat with Adobe about certifications. Now that’s been fixed and this 10.1-inch, Android 2.2 and Tegra 2-powered slab can finally take off its mask and show us what it can do. If you’re an owner, get yourself the 1.09 software update on the other end of the source link below.

As expected, Adobe has officially entered the World of online applications. Adobe is known best for their desktop software like their photo editing solutions (Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Elements, etc.), and so it makes sense that their first web-based application is a basic version of Photoshop called Photoshop Express. It has launched into beta and anybody can go give it a try and sign-up for a free account. Photoshop Express isn’t just about editing photos online, they’ve also made it a place where users can store their photos and share them with others.

We decided to test-drive Photoshop Express and overall, we were pleasantly surprised at what it offers.  One of the first things we did was select a personal sharing URL. If you sign-up for an account you will get to pick a sharing URL so that you can easily give it out to friends and family to view your photos.  For example, your personal sharing URL would be something like http://yourname.photoshop.com. Adobe gives each registered user 2GB of space that they can use however they please.

When uploading photos, by default they will be uploaded to your main library. You can also have them uploaded to a new album or an existing one.  We uploaded a 2.1 MB file which is a pretty typical photo size and it uploaded within just a few seconds. Once it was uploaded we decided to put the editing tools to the test. Editing tools fall under one of three categories, the Basics, Tuning, and Effects. Here’s a quick run-down of what you’ll be able to do in each category:

• Basics: crop and rotate, auto correct, fix exposure, red-eye removal, touch-up, saturation
• Tuning: white balance, highlight, fill light, sharpen, soft focus
• Effects: pop color, hue, black and white, tint, sketch, distort

Each of the different tools that are offered are very easy to use. And if you apply an effect or make a change that you don’t like, you can easily have it removed by clicking “reset all” which takes your photo back to the original state. Once you’ve made all of the changes that you want, you just click save and all of your editing will be saved. The only downside we noticed is that saving a photo seems to take a few minutes.

With all kinds of free online photo editing solutions available, Adobe knew they needed to jump on the bandwagon. Given that Photoshop Express is their first entrance into online web applications, they’ve done a great job. We’re still partial to Picnik and the interface that they’ve developed, but Photoshop Express is a great tool for online photo editing as well.It’s impossible to cover all that it offers, so go check it out for yourself and let us know what you think! Just note that you must have Adobe Flash 9 installed, otherwise it won’t work. If you don’t have it installed, you’ll be prompted to once you visit the site.

Can’t say that Patrick Lo is a name that immediately rang any bells around here. He’s certainly not as recognizable as Netgear, the company that he chairs and rules supreme. But boy did he hit our radar screens this morning. Lo had plenty of criticism to spread around the Microsoft and Apple camps today during a press lunch in Sydney. Oh where to even begin? Let’s start with Microsoft, and Lo’s claim that, “Microsoft is over — game over, from my point of view,” when comparing Windows Phone 7’s chance to compete with Android and the iPhone. Doubtful, not with Redmond’s Windows 7 and MS Office cash cows fueling Microsoft’s intense desire to execute on its new mobile strategy.

Lo then turned his sights on Apple, having this to say on the topic of Steve Jobs’ refusal to support Adobe Flash on Apple’s mobile devices: “What’s the reason for him to trash Flash? There’s no reason other than ego.” Funny, we thought it was due to performance, security, and power consumption issues. Lo later added, “Once Steve Jobs goes away, which is probably not far away, then Apple will have to make a strategic decision on whether to open up the platform.” Classy. Hit the source link below if you’re just dying to hear how “closed” systems are inferior to “open” systems all over again.

Adobe posted a page about 35 minutes ago allowing consumers to submit a request for a free Photoshop CS4 serial number, and I’ve been able to successfully use it activate the trial version of the app. They supposedly have a press release that will be posted soon, but the rumor is that they are only providing free product keys to the first 25,000 people that request them. I submitted my request for a key and received the email about 2-minutes later.

The site Adobe currently has up doesn’t give any specifics as to why they are actually giving the software away to consumers, and doesn’t say anything about how they will verify that you’ll be using it for personal use. Heck, with how fast I got my key there has to be little to no verification done (maybe they’re making sure your email isn’t coming from a corporate domain). I used my Gmail account, and if I were you I’d use some generic account, too (Hotmail, Yahoo, etc…).

At this point I’m not quite sure what will happen if you try to use the serial number with the Creative Suite, but I’ll probably give it a whirl a little later. My guess is that it will only activate Photoshop though, and the other apps will still need to be activated.

You can download the trial version of Photoshop CS4 here, and you can register for your free product key here. Don’t get greedy and register for multiple serial numbers either, otherwise it might come back to bite you in the butt.
