My Take
It looks like Adobe is all in on the mobile side. The tool is impressive with the ability to make selections, use layers, and even export layered files for use in Photoshop. The app doesn’t differ significantly from the tablet version, but the jump to both iPhone and Android smartphones just grew the audience in a major way.
The only drawback is that the existing customers using it on a tablet need to but the app again (but it’s $5… so stop yelling).
The 2GB of cloud storage to back up images is a steal…
