We begin with another deal from Apple on its Mac Pro Xeon workstations, starting at $2,149 for a 2.66GHz model. Next up is Philips docking cradle for the iPod, just $19. We wrap up our top list of deals with the ever-popular streaming-radio Squeezebox radio from Logitech.

Along the way, we check out several software packages, including new App Store price drops, a physics application and Assemble, a mapping and social networking tool.

As always, for details on these and many other items, check out CoM’s “Daily Deals” page, which starts right after the jump.
