We start the day with a mix of Mac deals, including a loaded 27-inch iMac with Intel’s i7 processor cranking out 2.8GHz. ExperCom has added 8GB of RAM and three years of AppleCare – all for $2,379. Also on tap is a 32GB iPhone 3GS from AT&T. (If you’re interested, you might want to snap this bargain up soon, since they seem to be going quickly.) Finally, we wrap up out top trio with Medical freebies from the App Store, including a medical encyclopedia.

Along the way, we check out other gadgets and software, including a new round of price drops from the App Store on applications for the iPhone or iPod touch.
