Adobe confirms it – no Universal Apps until next major release

You can file this under “we told you so”. Adobe has released a .PDF file (what – did you think they would start issuing press releases in Flash Paper format?) that details their plans for creating Universal Binary versions of their popular applications. The short of it – no Universal Binaries until each applications next major release. While Adobe doesn’t give timelines on it’s release schedules, it does point out that their product upgrades usually follow a 18-24 month cycle.

The caveat here is Lightroom. Adobe states in it’s release that they will be releasing a Universal Binary of their Lightroom application during the beta cycle. They cite the nature of the beta release that allows them to go Universal.
