Type much faster on your iPhone or iPod touch by creating abbreviations — or "shortcuts" — that automatically insert frequently used words, phrases, or even whole paragraphs.

Then send the text to one of these apps:

•  Mail

•  Twitterrific

•  Tweetie

•  Appigo Notebook

•  Appigo Todo

•  more to come...

Let your iPhone or iPod touch do the typing for you.  For example, typing "cu" could automatically insert "see you later".  Or typing "adr" could insert your entire, 3-line mailing address, including line breaks.  "pb" could insert "Patrick L. Barry, MD, Ph.D."

Similar to AutoType on the BlackBerry, AutoText in Microsoft Word, and typing macros in many programs.

•  Create, modify, or delete an unlimited number of shortcuts

•  Use shortcuts to insert frequently used words, phrases, or even multiple paragraphs

•  Shortcuts can insert multiple lines, including line breaks

•  Type using the vertical, portrait keyboard or the horizontal, landscape keyboard, which has larger keys that make typing easier and faster
