Felt is a new app for iPad that allows you to write and send handwritten cards to friends and family, without a trip to the post office. Simply choose from one of the available designs, write your message and address the envelope the person you wish to send it to.

“We’re communicating now more than ever, but nothing can replace the feeling of receiving something uniquely personal from a friend or loved one in the mail,” says founder Tomer Alpert. “With Felt we wanted to make it easier for anyone to send a handwritten note, and bring back the excitement of opening your mailbox.”

The NowNow tweak by iOS developer Nick Frey has been around since just after the Google app got updated to support Google Now-like voice commands. That wasn’t the real Google Now, though, due to the absence of “Cards,” a feature which provides you with information you may need before even searching for it. The NowNow jailbreak tweak, which replaces Siri on your iOS device, is still fully compatible with the latest update to the Google app. (more…)
