Kodak has launched a service that allows users to mail personalized photo postcards to friends and family from their mobile phone. You take the picture, select a border design, enter a personalized message and US mail address, and Kodak will print and mail the postcard to your family member or friend. Postcards can be ordered from a MOTOROLA V710, V260, V265, V276, the KYOCERA KX2, and the AUDIOVOX CDM-8940 on the VERIZON Wireless network.
The Kodak Mobile Postcard Application can be downloaded in pre-paid single-use increments for $1.99 or in bundles of three postcards for $4.99, and five postcards for $7.99. All first-class US postage is included. The user will see the charge on their cell phone bill.
