Photoshop CS3, Acrobat 3D, and Full Frame?

ThinkSecret busts out another rumor, this time on Adobe and a trio of possible future releases. First up are some juicy tidbits about the next incarnation of Photoshop. Or should I say incarnations? Following in the brilliant footsteps of Macromedia (who'd a thunk?), the next version of CS may come in Standard and Premium editions. Personally, I hate the fact that Flash now comes in two flavors. Why not just create a seperate, truly beginner-level app? Was Elements really that bad? Oh, yeah, it was.Anyway, according to the article, CS3 will boast a slew of killer new features. Rumors of a rotatable canvas ala Painter (for tablet users), better non-destructive image editing, and a revamped interface are mentioned. There's also talk of more advanced perspective and sorta 3d-related tools... Which brings us to the another rumored product: Acrobat 3D.
Acrobat 3D has scant few details, but might be a sort of "all purpose" 3D image viewer. The cost is supposedly upwards of $1,000! The last product, Full Frame, has no info but the box cover. Huh. I'm still waiting for Adobe to do something with Atmosphere again...
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

I have been waiting for Photoshop to add text on paths for a while now so hopefully they will add that to the next major release. I know there are plug-ins to do this and I could just import it from Illustrator but I would really like to see this feature in Photoshop natively.
I haven't used Elements since 1.x and even then I was just testing it because I got a free copy with my digital camera but I thought it was a pretty decent package for basic users and have recommended it to many people.

Twist,
Unless I'm misunderstanding the functionality, text-on-a-path is already available in CS2.

Text on paths was available in CS and is in CS2.
You draw a path using the pen tool, then select the text tool. When you place the cursor over the path the cursor changes. Click, and you can type on the path.
Personally, I would like CS3 to come in a 64-bit version.
