Along with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad support, the Digital Publishing Suite supports content creation for Android tablets and RIM’s still unreleased PlayBook. The tools are built on Adobe Create Suite 5, integrate with the Adobe Online Marketing Suite, and support third party add-ons and subscription systems.

Digital Publishing Suite includes hosted enterprise-level tools for building and testing content, distributing content for multiple mobile platforms, analytics tools and support for Adobe SiteCatalyst, e-commerce support, and the ability upload new content via Folio Producer directly from Adobe InDesign.

Adobe has also committed to supporting Apple’s new in-app subscription feature, along with Google’s One Pass subscription service.
