Versions of TextExpander are available for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad as well, and they can share abbreviation, or snippet, libraries with TextExpander for the Mac.

TextExpander 3.3 is priced at US$34.95 and is available for download at the Smile Software Website. The update is free for version 3.x users.
