Whether you’re backpacking in Bali or camel trekking across the Sahara, this new Postcards app captures your image on iPhone and android smartphones, sending it to the folks back home by conventional post, yes a real, proper post card!  How cool is that?! And best of all this brand new picture postcard service is provided as a free download by eCards Media (www.ecards.co.uk/postcards). 

We all know what it’s like trying to choose the best of a bad bunch of cheesy post cards, well not anymore, no stamps or searching for a postbox either. Your personal holiday snaps are transformed into traditional picture postcards and mailed home at the touch of a button. This is already one of the Apple website’s top 30 apps in their ‘free stuff’ travel section

How does it work?

The free ‘Postcards’ download lets users take a photo or upload from their library and input text to family and friends. It costs 99p to send second class and £1.49 to send first class postcards anywhere in the world, processed via PayPal.

The worldwide postcards are sent to a printing firm in deepest, darkest Dorset via file transfer protocol (FTP) at 4pm every day. They are then run off using state-of-the-art Xerox printers and collected for dispatch by Royal Mail at 5.15pm the same day.

So whether you’re on top of a rollercoaster, celebrity spotting in restaurants or sending out pictures of your newborn baby, the Postcard app is a great way to share news with mates.

It’s a great little app and I’m deff going to try it out on my summer hols!! Will somebody send me one please?

GoGreenMobiles.com has launched their new website which incorporates a new buying and recycling concept for mobile phones. The website offers a one stop shop where you can buy a new handset while recycling your old one for cash. With no fuss about your old phone’s recyclable value this site offers a set cost for your old phone regardless of the make and model.

The site offers the standard mobile phone purchasing service where you can select a new phone and tariff while offering free gifts as well as the opportunity to recycle your old phone.

GoGreen Media Managing Director Andrew Fyfe explains “It is a simple concept that hasn’t been applied to the industry yet. More and more people are recycling their phones after purchasing a new one. We wanted to give the customer one website where they could do both, without ruling out the customers who just want to buy a new phone”. The site offers this service as a first of its kind mobile phone scrappage scheme, where you can scrap your old mobile for a new one and get up to £200 cash for any phone you choose to recycle.

Say goodbye to textbook leather cases for your iPhone girls… It’s not often that a case is just as desirable as the gadget or device it’s housing. However, the new Shine Case for your Apple iPhone 4 from Proporta manages the trick in fine style.

A sleek high gloss patent leather exterior is available in red floral , blue breton stripes and black zebra, fits like a glove and looks as stylish as can be. But it’s inside that the Shine Case really comes into its own. An internal mirror makes it the ideal accessory, yes a mirror! Whether you want to check your make up before a night out or that all important business meeting (or see how bad your hangover face is on the way to work). And for a stylish yet subtle twist, the mirror is framed with a choice of lining – nautical stripes, floral or zebra print.
