Apple's New "Cards" iPhone App Sends Real Holiday Cards

[Buildbright]

Thanks for the link $10 bucks a month to send cards your nuts. But just because you are first does not mean you will not have competition. I am sure you are not the first third party card mailer. Also $2.99 is cheap, and that stock looks awesome and they ship with delivery conformation and that means the shipping is over a dollar.

We created the first app that sends printed cards from an iPhone over a year ago. Our price was and still is $2.99. You can also send postcards for just $0.99. I may have to contact Tim about this. Any idea what to do about this situation?

Did you protect your idea? Because if so it's not only apple you need to go after. There a loads of companies doing the same kind of thing.

I for one can't wait to use cards. This will make me less forgetful around birthdays and holidays, and I won't feel as bad because I'll have Siri to remind me!!

Why would you want to hide your location from her?

Good point, LOL!
Anyway, here's a solution: "You track me, I track you..." Let's see who lasts longer.

At least Photoraven to print and ship internationally.
Apple Cards currently does not.

Why didn't they just do an "E-Card" app. I know its a bit impersonal but probably more "Fun" and less hassle.

I tried installing before the upgrade and got a you need iOS5 message. After FINALLY getting the upgrade installed I sent three cards in 5 minutes. They shipped at one day intervals over three days. That tells me that in a minute or two they were getting a full days production worth of orders. Another $100 million+ in profit for Apple.
