UK’s largest online greeting card company Moonpig and augmented reality specialists at Zappar have teamed-up to “change greeting cards forever.” The new service, available from Moonpig’s website, allows users to create greeting cards that incorporate their own videos and personal messages.
Here’s how to do it
First, pick a card on the Moonpig site, upload your video or personal video message, select a still for the front of the card and send to the recipient.
Recipient on its end can then bring the card to life using the Moonpig app (which is available for iOS and Android devices), with the uploaded video playing on a smartphone from the front of the card. Moreover, this clip can also be saved to your camera roll…
Pretty neat, though I’m not sure that many users will instantly jump on board. If you try it out, let us know what you think about it in the comments form below. Thanks.

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.
