SmileOnMyMac (http://www.smileonmymac.com) has updated TextExpander,
a Mac OS X utility that lets users define abbreviations for
frequently-used text strings and images, to version 2.7. The upgrade
lets you share snippet groups with TextExpander touch for the iPhone,
to be released Aug. 26.

With TextExpander, users can define abbreviations for frequently-used
text strings and images, also known as snippets. When an abbreviation
is typed, it expands automatically to the full snippet.

The regular cost is US$29.95 for a single user license or $44.95 for
a five-pack family license. A 30-day fully-functioning demo of
TextExpander can be downloaded at the SmileOnMyMac web site.
TextExpander 2.7 is a free update for registered users of
TextExpander 1.x and 2.x.

However, SmileOnMyMac is selling TextExpander for 50 percent off the
normal price through Sept. 9.
