Casio presents this fully autonomous machine with a keyboard, a screen and a printer. You can just hook up your digital camera or slip your cards into the CF/SD slot, and start modifying and brushing up your pictures. The machine also can print the back of the cards in case you have a horrible handwriting."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/postcardmachine.jpg" /><br /><br />So I never actually send postcards to anyone, even though I promise tons of people when I am traveling abroad. :) But this would be a great way to create custom post cards, i.e. take pictures on vacation, come home and make your custom post card and then send it out to family/friends. Very unique idea IMHO.
