We kick off another week of deals with a bargain on the stamp-size iPod shuffle: $39 for the 1GB version. Americans by droves tuned into the World Cup this weekend to watch the U.S. and the U.K. battle to a 1-1 draw. Whether you are an American soccer fan or a European “football” fan, today’s batch of App Store freebies includes “Goaaal!” a soccer game for your iPhone or iPod touch. Finally, a USB cable isn’t very sexy — until you need an extra.
Along the way, we check out new software deals, some camera, as well as storage options. As always, details on these and many other deals are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
The Apple Store offers the factory-refurbished 2nd-generation Apple iPod shuffle 1GB MP3 Player in Green (pictured) or Product RED for $39. (With free shipping, that ties our mention from two weeks ago as the lowest total price we could find.) Sales tax is added where applicable. All refurbished iPods carry a 1-year Apple warranty, the same as new units. Items are removed from Apple’s site when sold out.
Below are downloads of several free applications available for a limited time from Apple’s App Store, with price drops from $1 to $5. These apps are created for the iPhone and iPod touch, and are compatible with the iPad but will run at a significantly lower resolution. (Check the individual apps for further information.) The apps:
ElementZ: Drop-down puzzle game
Goaaal! (pictured): Soccer game
VideoUpLink: Batch video uploading
Light Painting Camera: Light-reactive drawing
Simple2Do: To-do list
U.S. Coin Counter/Change Counter: Coin counting assistant
Monkeyin’ Around!: Children’s action game
