Scott Forstall, senior vice president of iOS Software at Apple, previewed the application at <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-iphone-live-blog/">Apple's "Let's Talk iPhone"</a> event Tuesday. Forstall touted it as a one-stop-shop for creating cards on your iPhone.

"It's a new app that let's you create cards on your phone … and we'll do the rest," Forstall said. 

Cards users can select from 21 different designs. Once the card creation is completed, Apple will print out the cards, emboss them, add a mailing address and send them anywhere in the U.S. for $2.99 per card, or anywhere in the world for $4.99. Cards users can also send electronic versions via email free of charge.

Cards is a free download that appears to compete with<a href="http://mashable.com/2011/09/09/postcard-on-the-run"> Postcard On the Run</a> and <a href="http://mashable.com/follow/topics/postagram">Postagram</a>, which are also photo-centric greeting card applications for iPhone.
