We close out the week with a deal on iMacs from the Apple Store. The desktops range from 21-inch to 27-inch models carrying Core 2 Duo and i7 processors. A 21.5-inch 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo iMac can be had for $999. Next up is a new deal on a 120GB iPod Classic for $189. We also have a new batch of refurbished iPhones, including an 8GB iPhone 3G for $49.
Along the way, we check out the latest App Store freebies, including “Tap Tap Ninja,” an action game. We also look at some new cases for the iPhone, as well as software.
As always, the details on these and many other items are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
