We end the week with another batch of App Store freebies, including “PocketFish,” a fish simulator for the iPhone or iPod touch. Also in today’s spotlight: a 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook for $500. Finally, we all know the iPad is pretty sweet, so why not let everyone know it, as well, with a hard case that appears like a jumbo candy bar?
Along the way, we’ll check out new iPhone and iPad software, along with other gear. As always, details on these and many other items are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
Below are downloads of several free applications available for a limited time from Apple’s App Store, with price drops from $1 to $10. 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:

Finger 2010: Soccer game
