While we're talking about photos:
How long is it going to be before iOS or Android (points to the winner!) partners with CVS or Walgreens to offer printing services for photos as an integrated part of the OS?
Having cameras in everybody's pocket all the time (decent ones, too!) is a revolution. The next step is making it easy to put those photos on the fridge.
I really love the reality of physical places having APIs. Think of Walgreens like a peripheral and use it.
I would spend huge amounts of money of photos if this was a simple thing. (And part of the OS. I don't want to open walgreens' undoubtedly god awful app to do this.)
- PStamatiou 14y agoWe do this too http://picplum.com http://picplum.com
- isaacwaller 14y agoDo you guys plan to make an Android app? It would be really cool to order a print right from the camera app with the "Share" button.
- skyfallsin 14y agoUse Kicksend to do this now
- maxerickson 14y agoThere isn't any integration, but you can exploit the overlap between Google+ and Picasaweb to make it fairly straightforward to push photos from Android to several different print services. (I just tried it with someone else's public album, so it at least works at the moment. A Google+ user number will also work in picasaweb.google.com urls. Set up the url, click through the redirect and there you go.)
- frankdenbow 14y agoNot too far off, as Walgreens has an API https://developer.walgreens.com/apis https://developer.walgreens.com/apis
- smackfu 14y agoYes, it's especially odd since Apple already has a print partner to order prints from inside iPhoto on OS X, and they do card printing in the Cards app on iOS. Odd gap to not be able to just order prints from your phone.
