Acrobat.com Unveiled

Adobe recently officially unveiled Acrobat.com, a slick online suite of office apps for the creation, sharing and conversion of documents along with ConnectNow for holding Web conference.  It's a Flash-based app sporting Adobe's characteristically sharp interface aesthetic.  

A pretty face, however, only gets you so far.  This suite has been and will continue to be held up against others in the space like Zoho and Google Docs and even office applications' rex mundi, Microsoft Office.  

Having played around with Acrobat.com briefly, I can definitely see potential but a very long road between where it is now and where it will need to be to draw users away from the alternatives.  The workflow between the applications is shaky and some of the applications seem feature-poor when compared to the competition (I'm looking at you BuzzWord).  Of course, what else would you expect in a beta?  One thing I can declare for certain is that I will be eager to watch Acrobat.com's maturation.
