Drool.... I have some of these service available by using a third party add-on. Word Service 2.7 "provides 34 functions to convert, format, or speak the currently selected text, as well as insert data or show statistics of the selection within all Cocoa applications (such as TextEdit, Mail, iChat, Safari, XCode, or our commercial applications) and Carbon applications supporting services."

Very useful.

This addition to OS X.6 Snow Leopard will be even more useful.

This article from Apple Insider shows some of the new text handling additions to Snow Leopard... looks real good. PING!

Mac OS X.6 Snow Leopard Ping!

Some pissant country is going to eventually back a Linux variant and make billions, if not trillions. Hype ye Apple sir.

something that will be familiar to users of the Palm OS as well as Word users

I really don't need the machine to be interfering with what I'm typing. Maybe this auto-substitution could be customizable? Maybe we could use F-keys? Or go back to Wordstar commands...

The automatic spell correction is a blessing and a curse, sometimes I misspell a word and expect it to be caught then I end up spelling another word, or I spell a word it doesn’t recognize correctly and it corrects my correct spelling. More often than not it works as advertised though.

Auto fill in the address bar has already gotten me in trouble with Little Old Ladies for some of my racier eMails and auto correct will destroy my King Bender's Ingrish contemporary Langwich otherwise known as Tork’s Tango by some FReepers. Ooops there goes that double caps thing again...
