Now if only they could get the delivery times down to something under four weeks for international customers...
Why the hell isn't there an iPad version?
The Cards app would be rendered indispensable if it synced with your birthday calendar and gave you an alert 10 days before a listed birthday. -- I bet it would see far more use.
