TextExpander touch Now Available for iPad

TextExpander touch, the iOS version of SmileOnMyMac's customizable typing shortcut tool, is now available as a universal application optimized for the iPad. The newly-released version takes advantage of the iPad's larger screen, making it easier to create and edit snippets on the iPad.

The app remains priced at $4.99. Current users will be able to upgrade at no charge. TextExpander touch requires an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 3.0 or later.

Over 30 iPhone and iPad apps have added TextExpander support. Users of these apps can expand their TextExpander snippets while typing within these apps. Among the apps that support TextExpander touch are Twitter for iPhone (formerly Tweetie), Osfoora, ToDo, Simplenote, iThoughts, Pocket Informant and Task Paper. A complete list of TextExpander-enhanced apps is available at SmileOnMyMac's website.
