We close out another week with three top deals. First up is a new batch of free iPad apps, including “Sproutster,” a spelling game for the Apple tablet. Next is a deal on refurbished iPhone 4 handsets, starting at $149 for a 16GB version from AT&T. Finally, is iStart Spanish, a free app for your iPhone or iPod touch. Use this app to learn “acuerdo,” which translates into English as “deal.”
Along the way, we’ll also check out other iPhone apps, hardware deals for your iPod and other items. As always, details on these and many other bargains can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the jump.

With activation of new voice and data plans, AT&T Wireless offers the refurbished Apple iPhone 4 16GB Smartphone for AT&T Wireless in Black for $149 with free shipping. (That’s $50 less than the cost of a new model and the lowest total price we’ve seen for a refurbished model.) Sales tax is added where applicable. It features an Apple A4 processor, 326-ppi (pixel per inch) Retina 3.5″ display running at 960×640, gyroscope, front- and rear-facing cameras, 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, 720p video capture at 30 fps, 802.11n wireless networking, dual microphones, and more.

(With free shipping, that’s $50 off and the lowest total price we’ve seen for a refurbished model.) Note: No warranty information is provided. Also, a $36 activation fee applies.
The iTunes App Store offers downloads of iStart Spanish for iPhone and iPod touch for free. (That’s $5 off and the lowest price we could find for this language app.)
For its newsletter subscribers only, EverydaySource.com offers the iPod touch Screen Protector 3-Pack for $7.99. Coupon code “S9PRAT” knocks it to 99 cents. (With free shipping, that’s a slight hike since our mention from a month ago, but still among the lowest total prices we’ve seen for this quantity of iPod touch screen protectors.)
The iTunes App Store again offers downloads of TriDefense for iPhone / iPod touch for free. (That’s a $3 drop and ties our May mention for the lowest price we’ve seen for this tower defense game. )

Today only, SquareTrade offers its SquareTrade iPhone 2-Year Warranty for $99. Coupon code “thirty30” cuts it to $93.75. (At $30 off, that’s tied with our expired mention from two days ago and among the best deals we’ve seen for this service.) Unlike AppleCare, SquareTrade’s extended warranty also includes drop and spill protection. Have other items that need extended warranties? SquareTrade.com also takes 30% off warranties sitewide via the above coupon. (A maximum discount of $30 applies and it doesn’t stack with existing instant markdowns.) That also ties our mention from two days ago and is among the best offers we’ve seen from SquareTrade. (We saw a 35% off discount three weeks ago, since expired.)
