During Apple's Let's talk iPhone event, Apple announced their newest app, Cards. With Cards, users can create and order printed cards directly from their iPhone.

The cards will be made from 100% cotton paper, stamped with Apple-designed postage, and you will receive a push notification when the USPS delivery is complete.

The price of the cards will be $2.99 in the US and $4.99 everywhere else. The price of Cards, the app, will be free.

      Birthday Cards, Thank You Notes, Etc. I Like it. Its a pain to have to go to the store to buy a card all the time.

      No, but it is a step toward PC free. This, along with the new Camera App, you can see them also eventually adding print ordering, thus having an iPhoto environment on your iOS device.

      you could exactly the same as Moonpig.com / photobox / vista-print...as far as I am aware, they are making money and profitable...Apple a bigger brand than them so could sweep the market; now that it is an App more accessible to everyone.

  2. Yeah...I'm going to get right on that! NOT!

    Too bad Apple is 5 years behind the curve on this one. There's a company already doing this with much more customization for 1/3 the price Apple will be charging you...

  6. Dionte Love says:

    I like this, I don't like going to the store to pick out cards. I hope it also has an ipad version. I'll use this several times a year. Set my calendar to remind me of people's birthdays a week ahead of time.

  7. mjcart says:

    The app called "Cards" will cost $2.99 or each card will cost $2.99?
