We close out another week of dealing with a mix of bargains for Mac lovers. We start with the latest batch of iPad freebies from the App Store, including “Al’s Comedy Club.” For hardware, we have a deal on a 160GB iPod classic for $176. For MacBook and MacBook Pro (13-inch screens) owners, there is a deal on AppleCare.
Along the way, we’ll also check out deals on more iPhone software, Apple gadgets, and skins for iPhone. As usual, details on these and many other items are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
Below are downloads of several free iPad applications available for a limited time from Apple’s App Store, with price drops from $1 to $3. These apps are targeted to work with the iPad, and may support the iPhone and iPod touch. (Check the individual apps for further information.) The apps:
Al’s Comedy Club: Daily joke / comedy sketch
Farm Story Summer (pictured): Farming simulation game

Werewolf – Curse of Pandora: Digital version of classic party game
