We wrap up the week with an all-iPhone app deal spotlight. First up is a new crop of iPhone App Store freebies, including the aerial battle game “DOGFIGHT!” Next is another new batch of freebies, including “Urban Ninja.” Finally, we take a look at some discounted iPhone apps, including the physics-based game “Burn the Rope.”
Along the way, we check out some hardware deals, such as a 3.06GHx Core i3 22-inch iMac for $1,019. Also on the the list is a blast from the past: a 1.33GHz iBook G4 with 12-inch screen and software bundle for just $240. We close out the peek at Apple hardware with a number of deals on the iPod touch, including a 32GB unit for just $199.
As always, details on these and many other items can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
