We start another week with an assortment of items for your iPhone, iPod and Mac. First is a deal on a 24-inch LED Cinema Display – just $599. Next is the DLO HomeDock Deluxe Dock for your iPod. It connects to your home’s television, providing an on-screen menu. A remote control is also included – just $20. We wrap up our featured deals with the latest batch of App Store freebies, including “Qubits Clock,” a clock application for your iPhone or iPod touch.

Along the way, we’ll also check out a couple new cases for your iPhone, as well as a deal on Skullcandy earphones. As always, details on these and many other items are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
