When I was a kid, I always thought those photostrip booths dumped unceremoniously near the entrance of suburban malls were like a mini fun house and a comic-strip press rolled into one.
Now, with a service they’re calling Wink, Shutterfly brings those booths to your iPhone ( the comic-strip press part, anyway — but I’m assuming instructions for making a booth out of cardboard and gum can be found at Craft:)
Just download the free app, shoot away and upload anywhere from three to five photos; Shutterfly does the rest, combining the photos into a strip and shipping the product off to any Earthly address desired — all for $2.50, which includes shipping and tax (and Shutterfly says the photos can be uploaded from anywhere in the world). No iPhone (really?), no problem — photos can be uploaded from Facebook and Flickr too.
Bonus: Shutterfly says it’s giving away three (count ’em!) free strips to the first 50,000 strip-crazed iPhone users who download the app.
Me first. Just as soon as I head over to Craft: to figure out how many packs of Bubblicious I need to chew for booth material.
