Question

When will we see Captivate 3?

Our company has Captivate and are looking at upgrading to Captivate 2. However, we can hold off for a while if Captivate 3 is right around the corner. Any idea when the next version is expected? It was only a couple of months after we purchased Captivate that version 2 was released, so I don't want to make the same mistake.

Thanks.

    Hi hugh,

    From what I have seen, its about an 18 month turn around time, so I wouldn't expect to see Captivate 3 until the end of this year, beginning of next....

    Besides what you have mentioned, Captivate 2 offers a lot of other enhancements compared to Captivate 1 as well.

    Are you saying it is not worth the cost to upgrade from the first version to Captivate 2 ?

    The features in version 2 I was interested in are visualizing complex branching, creating customized skins, and customizing the scoring slides. It's probably not worth paying a few hundred dollars to upgrade for those features. Thats why I was hoping Captivate 3 would be coming out soon, hopefully with many more improved features.

    Hi hughbetcha

    Yes, Captivate 3 is currently in beta. But as you may know, exactly when you will see it is anyone's guess. Even those that are beta testing will not know until Adobe makes the announcement.

    Perhaps you could contact sales and explain that you are interested, but are reluctant to upgrade until 3 comes out. Maybe they will offer you a deal where you can get 3 by stating you are aware it is in beta?

    Just a thought... Rick
