Interesting.Forstall is now introducing a new app called "Cards," which lets you send snail mail cards featuring photos from your iPhone/iPad. Apple mails them for you -- and sends you a push notification on your iPhone when it arrives.
A card mailed in the U.S. costs $2.99 -- and $4.99 to elsewhere in the world.

That's true, but they're rehashing stuff that people already know. That cards thing looks ridiculously pointless.justincredible;921719 wrote:What did you expect? That's how every event that any company puts on starts.

Unless you're someone who likes to send cards. Then it would not be pointless.dlazz;921720 wrote:That's true, but they're rehashing stuff that people already know. That cards thing looks ridiculously pointless.

That's because 75% of their base is retarded and doesn't understand the technology they bought in the first place. It just looked cool.

People who send cards are typically soccer moms and old people, neither of which are tech savvy enough to figure out how to do it on an iPhone.ernest_t_bass;921725 wrote:Unless you're someone who likes to send cards. Then it would not be pointless.

I anticipated them charging a menial fee for iOS5, something along the tune of $4.99.
Surprised it's free.

They did in the past for iPod Touches. If you knew what you were doing, you could download the ipsw file from Apple and flash it via iTunes for free.Jawbreaker;921743 wrote:Have they ever charged for a iOS software update?
