Three hardware deals are on tap for today. We start with a $499 deal on 2GHz Mac mini desktops from the Apple Store. (These items seem to be flying off the shelf, so order now, if interested.) Also up: $119 for 16GB iPad nano MP3 players. We round out our top three daily deals with 8GB iPhone 3Gs for $99 from AT&T.
Along the way, we check out the latest batch of App Store price drops, including NBA League Pass Mobile, the ‘Conan Says’ Soundboard for iPhone and iPod touch users, and a $100-off deal on iPhones from Best Buy. As always, check out CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the jump for details on all of these items.
