HOT PRODUCTS LAUNCH IN SUMMER'S SLOW DAYS
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Never mind about the dog days of summer slowing the flow of
news in the technology business. Today, both Macromedia and
Fujitsu made significant product announcements.

Macromedia announced the much-anticipated Macromedia Studio 8,
its development suite for Web developers and designers, along
with the upgrades to the various point products including
Dreamweaver, Flash Professional, Fireworks, Contribute, and
FlashPaper.

offers a host of improvements - faster processor, more storage,
more memory -- over the forerunner P1000, which sold mainly into
vertical applications.
