Adobe Illustrator CS5 HTML5 Pack adds several HTML5 authoring features to the venerable vector-based design program including:
Efficiently design for web and devices by exporting Illustrator Artboards for unique screen sizes using SVG and CSS3 media queries.
Create web widgets with Illustrator by generating dynamic vector art for data driven web work-flows.
Take advantage of the latest enhancements to SVG and Canvas to generate interactive web content.
Map artwork appearance attributes from designer to developer tools—export from the Illustrator Appearance Panel to CSS3 for streamlined styling of web pages.
Whether or not Adobe is finding themselves in a Kevin Smith catch -- hate the idea of biting into Flash, still want to make money from anything that does -- it's great to see them adding support for HTML5 to one of the most popular design packages on the market. It's relagated to an Adobe Labs add-on right now, but HTML5 needs a killer IDE and that's something Adobe could deliver. (Then, of course, devs could more easily make us even more killer HTML5 apps for our iPhones and iPads.)

Adobe Illustrator CS5 HTML5 Pack announced
When the hell will css3 become an official standard.?! Geeze. Webkit has some cool stuff going on.
So what does this mean for use, the end user ?
It is not so much a Kevin Smith catch as a Tab-Diet Coke situation. We crotchety old timers remember when Tab (a Coke product) comfortably ruled the diet soda market. When Nutrasweet happened, Coke realized Tab's days as #1 were numbered. They concluded that if somebody was going to knock off their product, it might as well be them, and Diet Coke was born. I remember Coke executives being pleased they only cannibalized 30% of Tab sales, not the projected 50%, immediately. Today, Coke still has the #1 product in the space -- Diet Coke -- and Tab still remains profitable as a relatively niche product.
Adobe is doing the same thing here; they realize the inevitability that HTML5 will displace at least some uses of Flash. They can either circle the wagons around Flash and watch those markets drift away, or they can be the ones to seize them, from one part of the company to another, and stay on top that way.

Who cares? Adobe sucks. Besides the millions of reasons why flash sucks, even photoshop is way oversized, not a "one app, one icon", it is not priced for the average user.

Adobe Illustrator CS5 this is by far the most amazing suite of tools that they have produced. The upgrades to Illustrator are impressive-Bristle Brush, Perspective Grid, Shape Builder, enhanced Artboards, and more. I am already using all of these features to great benefit in my workflow. I’ve also used the new Blender Brushes in Photoshop which are very nice and I have played with Content Aware Fill and have been stunned by how well it works.
