TypeNoMo 1.0 for Mac OS X
TCNoMo recently released Version 1.0 of TypeNoMo, a super-charged, tab-enabled clipboard/pasteboard of sorts that inserts predefined text snippets for you anywhere you would normally type by hand.
At first glance I thought I'd have no use for it, since I am a long-time user of Script Software's CopyPaste, but TypeNoMo's addition of an onscreen keyboard and their use of tabs and tab-sets (you know I am a sucker for tabs) intrigued me, so I downloaded the 30-day demo. So far, I'm liking it. The ability to store frequently used words, code, tag snippets in neatly organized groups of tabs that I can define based on application or project is pretty handy. Although the general functionality is something I have with other apps that I already own, the TypeNoMo interface is unique and not unwelcome.
What is unwelcome is the price tag. At $59, this app would have to do a lot more than it does, so I will not be buying it once my demo expires. TCNoMo - if you're listening - you really need to reconsider what your promising little app is worth in the shareware world, and adjust yours accordingly. Still, I'd recommend you at least try the demo. You'll just need Mac OS X 10.3 or later.

I use Textpander. Not exactly the same thing, but nonetheless gets the job done smartly and it's free.

Wonderful utility for people who repetitively type the same words or phrase. I do agree it is a bit overpriced.
