Apple has released the Cards app for iOS which lets you create cards and mail them. You can personalize these cards with your own text and photos, right from your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and send them to any address in the world.
Using the cards app, you can make custom cards such as cards for occasions, Birthday parties, weddings, postcards, etc…
The new Cards app from Apple lets you create and mail beautifully crafted cards personalized with your own text and photos – right from your iPhone or iPod Touch. Take a quick snapshot and with a few taps and swipes, an elegant thank you note or “wish-you-were-here” card is on its way to any address in the world. Choose from 21 designs and customize your card with a personal message and photo. Then select an address from your Contacts and place your order in seconds. All your cards are saved automatically, so it’s easy to send an invitation or birth announcement to more than one person.
The Cards app supports iOS 5 only and Delivery pricing will vary from country-to-country. Total order price includes postage. For orders with a U.S. billing address, sales tax will be added to the order price. For orders with a non-U.S. billing address, the order price will include applicable VAT.
You can check detailed features right below the screenshots. Apple also released iOS 5 today, and a plethora of updates to their current apps. One thing to note is that the app only works on iOS 5.
