We start out the week with some freebies for the iPhone and the iPad. For handset owners, the App Store has several free items, including “Zombie Parade,” a tower defense game. For iPad owners, try your hand at “MakePanic,” described as a “panic-inducing game.” We round out our top deals with a new t-shirt. If your “I went drinking with Gray Powell and All I Got Was This Lousy iPhone Prototype” tee getting a little frayed? Take a look at the “Slide to Unlock” baby doll t-shirt for women.
Along the way, we’ll check out a solar charger for your iPhone, some deals on used Macs, plus plenty of software for your favorite device. As always, details on these and many other items are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
