We start the day with deals on applications for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. First up is a new crop of price cuts on apps for the Apple tablet, including “World of Goo,” an entertaining game some might have already seen for the Nintendo Wii. Also, there is a new batch of free applications for the iPhone and iPod touch, including “Ten Drops,” billed as an educational game. We wrap up our spotlight deals with “Pro Zombie Soccer,” a game for the iPhone or iPod touch.
Along the way, we check out deals on iMacs, including a 27-inch 2.8GHz model, bundled with 16GB of RAM and AppleCare for just $2,099. We also take a look at several cases for your iPad and iPhone, as well as assorted accessories for your Apple device.
As always, details on these items and many more can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
