TextExpander comes to the iPhone

TextExpander touch might not have all the features of its Mac sibling, but it does help you type faster on your iPhone or iPod touch using short abbreviations that expand into long snippets of text.

Developed by Smile On My Mac, TextExpander touch works with the iPhone Mail app, where you can compose new messages using a snippet library of frequently-used text, email addresses and signatures. The final text is then inserted into the body of a new email in Mail.

If you do a lot of tweeting, TextExpander touch can also come in handy, as it can send composed text to Tweetie, Twitterific (free and Premium), TwitterFon (free and Pro) and Twittelator Pro. TweetDeck and Birdfeed are not supported, as the two apps would need an update from their developers in order to work with TextExpander touch.

TextExpander touch works with text messages as well, and can turn any of your frequently-used phrases (like “I will be 5 minutes late”) into an SMS. The app can be used as a text editor, and then copy and paste the notes in any other app on your phone. The screenshots below (click to enlarge) don’t really do justice to how useful TextExpander touch is, so you might also want to check this demo video on the developer’s website.
