We start out with a frosted screen protector for the Apple tablet, a way to protect your iPad’s screen from those gooey jelly doughnut fingers, spilled coffee and assorted mishaps that seem to be magnetically-drawn to that perfectly-clean screen. Also we take a look at the latest batch of freebies for your iPhone, including the “Infinity Project.” Finally, what’s a daily roundup of Mac deals without a bargain on The Daily Show?
Along the way, we check out several price cuts on iPad, iPod, and iPhone accessories, iTunes gift cards, and a deal on a 27-inch iMac with a Core i5 quad 2.66GHz processor. As usual, details on all of these items can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
