Adobe Systems as a part of theAdobe Creative Suite 3 (CS3) inMarch 2007 . Its primary purpose is to integrate parts of the Creative Suite together to offer both professional and individual creative professionals, web designers, and mobile developers an easier way to preview and test Flash Lite, bitmap, web, and video content for mobile devices. It is accessible from all of the Creative Suite editions.Device Central is also included with the standalone Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS3 Extended, Illustrator CS3, Flash CS3 Professional, Dreamweaver CS3, After Effects CS3 and Premiere Pro CS3 applications.
Device Central provides designers and coders a comprehensive testing facility that approximates how pages and graphics will look on a variety of cell phones with different screen resolutions, color depths, memory constraints, and other performance characteristics. It simplifies the mobile authoring workflow and allows developers to preview designs and test content on the desktop before loading it on the mobile devices for final testing. A library of mobile device profiles on Device Central are updated quarterly, with an initial support for over 200 devices at launch.
