Versions
When Autodesk acquired Alias in October 2005, they discontinued Sketchbook Pro development for a time. Version 2.0 was released in July 2005, under Alias Systems Corporation.
A beta version of version 3.0 was shown at MacWorld 2008 on display with the Axiotron Modbook. On April 2008, Autodesk SketchBook Pro 2009 was released to the public. In April 2009, the latest version was released, Autodesk SketchBook Pro 2010. Autodesk continues to have a beta program for testing new versions of SketchBook Pro.
A free trial version is available on the Autodesk website. Additionally, a consumer version of the application, SketchBook Express, is available as a free download with the purchase of certain tablet products, such as the Wacom Intuos4 and the Axiotron Modbook. For Mac OS X, it is also available for download from the App Store. SketchBook Express provides much of the same functionality as Autodesk SketchBook Pro.
On September 17, 2009, Autodesk released SketchBook Mobile specifically designed for Apple's iPhone and iPod touch. Built with the same paint engine as Pro, Mobile and its free version Mobile Express offers many of the same design features seen in the desktop application. On November 30, 2010 Autodesk released Android versions of SketchBook Mobile and SketchBook Express.

Famous quotes containing the word versions:
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
