Adobe + Macromedia = Adobe Systems

Today Adobe (makers of Adobe Reader, Photoshop and InDesign) announced that they are aquiring Macromedia (makers of Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash). The deal consolidates some of the most-used software in Web design into a single company. I'm excited to see how Adobe might incorporate features of Photoshop into Dreamweaver and how the company will continue to develop Flash for web interactivity in mobile devices.

Blog post from Mike Chambers (Adobe Product Manager) explaining the aquisition and what it means for the future of the two companies.
