Daily Deals: Gigaware, Logitech Speaker Deals, iPhone Video Poker App

12:37 pm, February 3rd, 2010, Ed Sutherland

If you are looking for a deal on an iPod speaker system, this could be your lucky day. We start off with the Gigaware docking speaker system with remote control and audio input for $60. There is also a deal on Logitech’s Pure-Fi Anytime iPod speaker system, complete with motion-activated sensors, backlit controls, motion-sensing snooze (I guess no more hitting the ’snooze; bar and rolling over for 15 minutes), digital AM/FM and a remote – $42. Lastly, if you wallet is feeling a bit light, you might want to investigate an iPhone video poker app we found. “Real Deals Slots Second Volume” includes more than 300 variations of the game of chance.

Along the way, we’ll also check out a new batch of App Store freebies, including iZombie: Death Match, and the free V.V. Brown single at iTunes.

As always, details on these and many more bargains can be found on CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
