When I watched the video from NAB on Adobe TV about this I kind of thought it was Thermo too. I asked a few other people and they got the same impression. The presenter at NAB didn't mention a product name, he did almost say it once and then caught himself and carried on. I think it's a fair assumption as for all intents and purposes it does the exact same thing. Import a psd and use those layers to create components and then create connections between those. The only difference between this and Thermo is that one outputs using the Flex framework and the other is targeting straight Flash (I'm guessing XFL) output. So if they both do the same thing, why make two products - other than to make more money selling dev tools I guess. Anyway, given all the publicity that Thermo has received and how similar these two initiatives are I think it's fair for people to have assumed that this was Thermo.
