Smile Software to show iExpression at MacWorld 2011

Monday, January 24, 2011

We are absolutely delighted to say that iExpression will be making an appearance this week at MacWorld 2011. Sadly we can’t be there ourselves but Smile Software, creators of the excellent (and beloved by many of our users) TextExpander Touch, are going to be showing off the integration of TextExpander Touch and iExpression on the iPad at their stand. You can track them down at Booth 246-1, from Thursday through until Saturday between 10am and 6pm.

For those of you that aren’t familiar with TextExpander Touch you can read our review here, but essentially it enables you to set up some simple text strings that when you enter them into your iPhone/iPod/iPad get expanded into a longer string. Even though we’ve added advanced editing into iExpression at release 1.4, you don’t want the tool bar to have too many buttons, and TextExpander Touch allows you to have a much broader set of strings and substitutions without over-loading the advanced editing tool-bar. In fact, for many of our users it means they don’t need to use it (although we’ve made it as small as we could, it still takes up precious space on the iPhone and iPod Touch).

So, if you are over at MacWorld, please head over to the guys at Smile and take a look at their offerings (feel free to plug iExpression and ExpressionEngine while you are there!). If you are a Mac user new or old I can’t tell you how invaluable all of their products are, often replacing big, heavy, expensive tools that you may already own (or think that you should), with small light-weight versions that do just what you want, in the way you want.
