Starting on April 8, 2011, Adobe will begin upgrading hosted customers to Adobe Connect 8 Service Pack 1 (SP1). If you are already on version 8, SP1 will provide you with new user experience enhancements which are based on the feedback we received on the initial Adobe Connect 8 release. If you have not yet been upgraded to Adobe Connect 8, we will upgrade you directly to Adobe Connect 8 Service Pack 1 (SP1). If you’d like to know when your organization is scheduled to upgrade, you can use the “upgrade schedule estimator” tool (lower right side on the page).
Featured enhancements follow:
A new Adobe Connect Meeting add-in is required for SP1. It will install automatically the first time you join an Adobe Connect 8 SP1 meeting. If you are in a locked down environment, you will need to pre-install the add-in using the links provided here.
Note: These installers, updated on March 21, 2011 to Adobe Connect 8 SP1, are only required for organizations that thatdo not allow their end-users to install the Adobe Connect add-in via lightning download from the Adobe.com website.

Randah McKinnie, Principal Product Manager, is excited to announce the availability of Adobe Connect Mobile 1.5 for Android smartphones and tablets. This follows the original version of our application for Android, which we made available in October 2010 and discussed in this post. We appreciated all the feedback to version 1.0 and have worked to extend and improve the application further in this latest version. We encourage you to download the free Adobe Connect Mobile 1.5 app from the Android Market today (more on that later).
With this version, the first optimized for Android tablets and with enhancements to be enjoyed on Android smartphones as well, Adobe Connect Mobile gives the mobile user complete confidence to attend meetings from anywhere. With an updated user interface, mobile users will feel more like full meeting participants, and can interact in many of the same ways as someone on a desktop system.
