Amazon lets slip again

Amazon.com may well be an American retailer, but they have a global reputation for their ability to provide much of the world with a host of products. 
When the Australian dollar was at its best, there’s no doubt that many savvy Aussies looking to save a buck or 200 turned to Amazon.com to purchase products that local retailers could not match in price. Product manufacturers work closely with the online retailer to ensure that prospective clientele have access to the right products at the right time, and Amazon.com ensures that there are no slip ups with releasing product descriptions early. That is, until recently.

When news of Microsoft’s BluTrack mouse first got online, it was because of one of Amazon.com’s subsidiary sites, Amazon.de. The new technology mouse was revealed earlier than Microsoft would have liked, albeit minus the title and description. Now it looks as though Amazon.com has dropped the ball again, this time revealing a plethora of product details before another product’s official unveiling.

Adobe’s upcoming InDesign CS4, which was due for its official unveiling on Tuesday, has already been shown in all its glory on Amazon’s website. Quick to amend the error, Amazon pulled the product from their website, but not before it was captured and republished over at Apple Insider. Adobe InDesign CS4’s features include SWF file export, Live Preflight, conditional text, and much more.
