Anagram Genius, which is widely considered to be the best anagram
generating software, is currently being ported to the Mac by SRL Data.

It is commercial software (but not expensive) and should be out within a
couple of months.

You can read about it on http://www.demon.co.uk/genius/ag.htm . There is
also a form there where you can register an interest in the Mac version
and be notified on its release. The site also contains lots of anagram
examples and details of the Anagram Genius book (a book of anagrams
generated by the software).

One example: "Apple Macintosh" -> "Laptop machines"
