As Dave mentioned earlier in this thread, this is something that's on our radar, but we can't give any specifics on an ETA. We mark ideas as "Implemented" when they become available and new versions of the product are announced:

Thanks for the idea! Yes, we are investigating this and several other ideas to make working with type in Photoshop easier and more seamless. Stay tuned!
Basically, i would LOVE the ability to use the fonts in the adobe typekit in photoshop, without having to pay for/buy all the individual fonts.
This would be a massive step forward for any designer who uses photoshop to design website mockups for clients.
Enabling designers/developers to work towards making pixel perfect website designs that can be transferred to the web without having to use alternate webfonts etc.

We need a way to select from the TypeKit library of fonts in such a way that would enable us to preview font styles and font selections - and in turn sell design ideas for web sites and mobile applications to our clients - so that we can be clear on how our end product will look.
There is a plugin out there already that was put out by Extensis - Suitcase Fusion - that enables the users to preview fonts from WebInk and the Google font library. This is great, however, the library of fonts isn't nearly as good as TypeKit.
I feel that TypeKit - and by association - Adobe, is behind in the game on this one. They should be leading the way from a design and technology stand point. I'm tired of having clients say the fonts don't look the same on the actual site as they did in the comps they approved.
Is there any plans for including fonts inside cs6 ps illustrator etc ? I think a good idea falls flat without the ability to try the fonts in your design.
It would take more than 6 months to implement such a feature, much less test it. When there is news, we'll tell you about it. Until then: we've heard the request.
Sensing your frustration. However the way in which you are choosing to represent Adobe (via your reply) comes across condescending and a bit arrogant (which may be your personality - I really don't care), but i don't believe it to be the outward facing voice Adobe would like to portray (correct me if I'm wrong). Your actions (reactions, interactions) impact peoples perception of the brand - and to digress - I find quite distasteful.
I didn't say that they had to have it done in 6 months. I was frustrated that an employee responded 6 months ago, and despite multiple questions on progress of "investigation" (not implementation necessarily), an employee had not responded. Transparency is a part of a good user experience and a successful brand perception.
