Adobe are busy launching a new (part-cloud-based) Pages rival. Maybe this also featured in the recent Ballmer/Adobe discussions.

"Project ROME is an all-in-one content creation and publishing application that lets virtually anyone at work, home or school* inject the power of graphics, photos, text, video, audio and animation into everyday projects. From printed materials and presentations to digital documents and websites, you can go from start to finish within the simple, creative Project ROME environment"

It comes as a web app or in a desktop version, and the beta is free - for a while. After that payment is "by subscription" whatever that means.

To use first install Adobe Air, then Rome. Both are available on the Rome website with video, etc. There is a short introductory review on MacWorld's site, and elsewhere.

Anyone else tried it?

Payment by subscription is a term for "recurring ongoing revenue to adobe", they won't let you just own something. This is disgraceful in my opinion. And you need adobe air.
