It looks good. Also, do you know if the two issues in the attachment are solved or available in 2012?

Here's what I found on their blog. Looks like a new version by June.

Some highlights of the upcoming release include:* Native 64-bit support
* Highly portable �?? no install needed, can run completely off a thumb drive
* Integrated ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS search capabilities
* Updated ArcGIS Online web map support
* Many presentation enhancements, including audio, new transition options, better slide handling, and more.
* Display attribute table for feature layers
* Built-in line and polygon buffering
* Custom address geocoding support (10.1 geocoding packages)
* More�?�

ArcGIS Explorer Desktop 2012 will be released in conjunction with the final release of ArcGIS 10.1.

Saw this in a blog post "The thumb drive also included the setup installation for the  still-in-development ArcGIS Explorer Desktop 2012, scheduled for release  in August."

I thought the next version was to be released about the same time as 10.1 "ArcGIS 10.1 is scheduled to be released in June 2012." ? Now its moved to 2 months later?

Thanks for the response.

Can anyone at Esri tell me if the SDK will change dramatically with the next release?  Will the next release affect current customizations?

Thanks!

Jerry,
we've made no changes to the SDK, all of your customizations will work as you have them now. Which also means that all of the new functionality is not available to you through the sdk.

Kind regards,
