2. Re: Will there be support for Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus 2?
I asked the same question about the new Bamboo stylus fineline, and I haven't heard back. However, I think Adobe needs to clarify their divided focus on their mobile drawing apps: Adobe Sketch, Adobe Line and Adobe Ideas. It appears all their focus is on Sketch and Line right now, since they were immediately compatible with Adobe Ink and Slide. I assume this focus is temporary, as Sketch and Line are more consumer facing, whereas Ideas (with more advanced features like multiple layers) adds incentive to purchase Creative Cloud. Further on this point, the Wacom website now indicates that Sketch and Line will soon have compatibility with Intuos Creative Stylus 2 and Bamboo stylus fineline; Adobe Ideas is not mentioned.

My question for Adobe; is Adobe Ideas just taking a temporary backset to Adobe Sketch and Adobe Line? Can we expect an update to Ideas that brings parity with the stylus compatibility offered in Sketch and Line? Thanks

Is there a rough timeline for then support will be added?

Yes, I did notice the absence of Ideas in the compatibility list on the Wacom Website, which prompted my question to Adobe.
I do get the feeling that Ideas may be going away at some point in the future, to be replaced by a mobile version of Illustrator, perhaps. The updates to the app are few and far between - since upgrading to iOS 8 the "Send to Illustrator" functionality stopped working, and the sync issues have only gotten worse.

Agreed, I hope Adobe clarifies the product's future soon. There's an Adobe Ideas session at Adobe MAX on October 8 that suggests Ink and Slide support is coming, which hopefully portends to a new version compatible with iOS 8 and the Wacom styluses. https://www.adobe-max.com/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=2808&tclass=popup
