Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) has finally launched a tablet version of its flagship product – Photoshop Touch – for the iPad.

Last week, at the Mobile World Congress, it finally unveiled Photoshop Touch for Apple‘s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad as well. Adobe is expected to follow up by launching other touch-enabled Creative apps like Collage, Debut, Ideas, Kuler, and Proto for the iPad soon.

It integrates with Adobe’s Creative Cloud, which lets users view, share and sync images across multiple devices seamlessly. Adobe aims to generate additional revenues not only through the direct sales of Creative apps, but also through increased Creative Cloud subscriptions. Though we expect Creative tablet apps to boost sales for Adobe, the relatively low price will weigh down its average pricing.

Photoshop and other Creative Software account for around 50% of Adobe’s $34 Trefis price estimate, which stands just above its current market price.
