Dave Caolo at TUAW has posted that Photoshop Elements 4 is, after all, on its way for OS X. He found an article at MacCentral in which Adobe assured the Mac community that Elements 4 is on its way, especially since they've been receiving even better response from OS X users recently. He elaborated the basics of what most of us know about cross-platform software dynamics: releasing larger suites like CS for Windows and OS X simultaneously is a tad more important for companies in collaborative environments, but less critical software like Elements doesn't need quite the same dual-platform focus and tandem release.

While an Elements 4 release has been assured for OS X, no ETA was offered. Sounds like, for now, we'll just have to stick with the ambiguous status of "it'll be done when it's done."
