We wrap up the week before Thanksgiving with a number of deals for your iPhone or iPod. Whether fighting mystical sorcerers or simply looking for day-time TV on your handset, we have the app for you. A new crop of free and discounted iPhone apps have hit our desk and we thought we’d share. First is the free “Duel: Blade & Magic MT,” a role-playing game for your iPhone or iPod touch. Next is “Oprah Mobile,” a discounted app that keeps you connected to the queen of daytime talk. Finally is the Dice Electronics Tube Amplification System for the iPod. The specs include built-in 2 x 20 watt amplifier, 4″ mid/bass driver, 1″ dome tweeter, dual 6N3 tubes (tube fans will know what that means), auxiliary input (to connect other MP3 players/devices), and video output.
Along the way, we also check out more Xserve servers, a 1.2GHz iBook G4 for just $200, and more cases than you can shake a screen protector at. As always, details on these and many more items can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
