Apple just announced an all new app that they are working on, called Careds.
On the surface, it looks like just a silly postcards app, but the idea is that Apple will allow you to create cards and letters on your iPhone or iPad, and then they’ll physically mail out to you.
A card will send $2.99 to mail nationally, and $4.99 to mail anywhere in the world.
Cards will be a free app available on October 12th, directly from the App Store.

Possibile backdoor room deal done with USPS to keep them alive?
BTW. Cards sounds a lot like original Mac programmer Bill Atkinson’s PhotoCard app: bit.ly/niyPGp
$2.99? Â I’ll make a freaking postcard and mail that out myself.
reminds me a little bit of ‘iCards’
OMG! That’s fantastic!
That was my first thought. Â Apple saves USPS!
