Adobe has announced it will bring its flagship products to Mac OS X, though they're still not giving an expected release date. A statement about Adobe's commitment to OS X on Adobe's Web site says that that company plans to bring Photoshop and Illustrator to OS X with the "next major release."

We're in the process of setting up interviews with Adobe regarding their plans for the Mac and have not yet been able to pin down a date for the next major releases of these programs.

According to the statement on Adobe's site, "Adobe supports the direction Apple is taking with Mac OS X. Apple's new operating system promises to ultimately deliver a powerful desktop platform with enhanced stability and reliability for the Macintosh customer.

"Currently, most of Adobe's software products do not offer native Mac OS X support. Adobe plans to support Mac OS X native mode in future releases of our flagship products, beginning with Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0.

"We will continue to update our customers, partners, and the press on the status of our products running on Mac OS X, both in Classic and native modes."
