UK’s largest online greetings card company, Moonpig, is out with its own iPhone app, allowing users to quickly navigate and choose from a selection of customizable cards. Of course, you can edit the text of the card (both on the front and the inside of the card) and use your own photos from the Gallery, if you fancy so.
Touted as an ideal tool for “people with a busy schedule,” it will ensure you never miss someone’s birthday or anniversary.
Greeting cards cost 2.99 GBP plus postage, while postcards go for 1.50 GBP plus postage. Both are dispatched inside an addressed envelope by first class mail, special delivery or standard international post.
One other interesting bit. At the launch day, Moonpig’s iPhone app was so popular that it has actually pushed Facebook off the top of the Brand Republic app chart (that’s not Apple’s chart, but it’s still something). Love to see a smaller player taking down the big guys… at least temporarily.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
