"Postagram, the app for sending Instagram photos as printed postcards, is out with version 2.0 of its iPhone application and is releasing an Android application Thursday.

The service has expanded to support printing high-quality glossy photos from your device’s camera roll or your Facebook library. The enhancements eliminate the need for an Instagram account and make the application accessible to anyone on iPhone or Android.

Application users need only fire up Postagram 2.0 for iPhone or Postagram for Android, and connect to Facebook or Instagram (on iPhone only) to find and select photos sorted by type. Also new is the ability to send Postagrams to multiple recipients.

As usual, individual Postagrams cost $0.99 and are shipped with a glossy photo printed at 300-dpi that pops out of the accompanying bezel.

Postagram is a product of Sincerely, a startup co-founded by Matt Brezina and Bryan Kennedy, both formerly of Xobni. Sincerely’s intent is to make it simple for mobile phone users to send real, printed photos using the snapshots on their device."

"“The printed photo [is] the world’s simplest but most ubiquitously appreciated gift,” Sincerely CEO and cofounder Matt Brezina says."

"More than a dozen launch partners will feature Sincerely’s print and ship technology in their iPhone apps, starting Thursday. Partners include Lonely Planet, Path, Pic Collage, Waddle, Quiption, Picsicle, Filtermania, Ship Mate, Interlacer, Pregnancy Progress, I’m Awesome and Color Effects.

At launch, Sincerely will continue to hand select app partners and evaluate interested parties on a case-by-case basis, Brezina says. The startup has already fielded inquiries from more than 200 developers, he adds.

App makers will earn 70% of revenue earned from the sale of each postcard above $0.99. Sincerely prices its postcards at $0.99 a pop, a fee that includes printing and shipping costs to anywhere in the world. App makers can keep the $0.99 price point in tact or price postcards higher to make a profit on sales through their apps.

Coincidentally, Sincerely’s SDK release comes just two days after Apple announced that it would enter the greeting card business with Cards, an iPhone application for creating, printing and sending greeting cards.

Brezina sees the Cards app as a competitor, but does not view it as a substantial threat to Sincerely’s business. In part because, he asserts, gifting is not Apple’s core business focus."

“We believe very strongly that a printed photo is this gift that every person on the street would appreciate,” Brezina says."
