PhotoCard

PhotoCard is an iPhone app. Sounds kool. It's made by Bill Atkinson, of both photographic and computer fame.
"PhotoCard is a program that allows you to create both electronic (email) as well as real physical post cards, using your own photographs as well as those provided by Bill and other talented photographers.
The program cost $4.99. You can send an unlimited number of electronic postcards to any email address without cost. Above is an example. If you wish to send real physical post cards via the postal service you can purchase postage credits from within the program via PayPal, and then send postcards from anywhere in the world to anywhere in the world.
[...]
The real magic in PhotoCard, beyond the email cards (which are pretty cool), is that Bill has set up a system whereby you can choose to send a real physical post card of your chosen picture and text. When you purchase Photocard credits via PayPal you can send postcards that are printed by a very high quality printing firm in the San Francisco Bay Area. I've seen the printed card quality and it is exceptional. Better than just about any commercial postcards that I've ever seen."

It's $2 inside the states and $3 worldwide. That's dirt cheap for such a cool service.



Bill's own page about it is here.

I don't have an iPhone, I want this app for my Mac.

Aww Eo, at least you should have an iPod touch which is an iPhone without the mobile phone module but with wifi! It's a must for people like you n me!
