Cingular today launched a service with Fuji Photo Film enabling cameraphone users to convert digital snapshots into physical postcards which the company will send via U.S. Mail. Subscribers can download an application that will allow them to select a template, add a picture and text, and address the card, all from their mobile phone. The application is currently available for newer Motorola flip phones such as the V400, V551 and V600 and should be available for other cameraphone models soon. Each postcard will cost $1.99.
