Outbox service offers to send your snail mail to your tablet and smartphone!

If you’ve been under the impression that the snail-mail could never be revolutionized and integrated in modern day technology, think again! Austin-based startup Outbox has come up with a fantastic way to digitize your physical mail and deliver it to the comfort of your tablet or smartphone! No longer will you need to wake up on a cold Sunday morning and trudge down to your mail-box to look for what the post man has left behind. Simply flick on your smart device and read your mail in the comfort of your bed!


Here’s how it works. Thrice a week, Outbox physically collects your mail from your mailbox, opens it up, scans it all and stores it. The data stored can then be accessed via the web using a smartphone or a tablet. And that’s not all! If you wish to have a physical copy of your mail, Outbox also offers to have it delivered to your doorstep!
