We have an eclectic group of deals to head today’s list of bargains. Insignia has a clock radio alarm for your iPod priced at just $13. There is the usual clock radio alarm specs, plus a remote. The Groove Silicone Skin for your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS will brighten your day – and at just 99 cents, it won’t lighten your wallet. We see all sorts of iPhone apps pass through here, but here’s something unique: a barcode reader for your iPhone or iPod touch. Just scan a product’s barcode and you’ll receive information from local or online merchants.

As always, details on all these items and more are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the jump.
