Kicksend partners with Walgreens for 1hr photo printing from your iPhone

Do people <i>want</i> to print photos? Wasn't there an article a couple years ago about how Flickr was making less than $1k per year on people clicking the "Order prints" button?

Wondering why Walgreen's (or CVS, or fill in your favorite store here) didn't do this already on their own. An app that allows you to scan the camera roll, select pics, then upload to their machines for printing... seems obvious.<p>Is this more feasible because the pics are already mirrored on kicksend's servers, saving upload time?

I thought a Dropbox to (Walgreens/Sam's/Walmart/Target/etc.) app would have popped up by now. Right click on a pic, select send to your store, pick up an hour later. Maybe not.

After 2 (maybe 3) print jobs from different Walgreens, I will never use them again. Get are among the worst in printing, colors were so bad that my own inkject seem better.

This is a result of Aviary's API - <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/10/app-developers-can-now-print-to-walgreens-company-outed-as-aviarys-strategic-investor/" rel="nofollow">http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/10/app-developers-can-now-prin...</a>

Great idea - hopefully you can partner with Target Stores as well as they have a great picture printing kiosk in most stores.

What you really need is a version of Redbox that takes your phone, scours it for photos, and prints them for you. It remembers which photos it's printed, so you don't get duplicates between visits. Heck, might as well have it pull credit card info, too.
