We wrap up the week with plenty of iPhone and iPad deals. The day’s highlighted bargains start off with a new list of marked-down iPad apps, including a great deal on a talking book of Beatrice Potter stories for the kids. We also have a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook for just $850. Naturally, we can’t omit the iPhone game, so there’s a deal on “Shoot the Magic,” a shoot ’em up for the Apple handset.
If you’d like something beefier than a MacBook, there are two Mac Pro workstations. The first is a 4-core 2.66GHz Xeon workstation for $2,099. The other Mac Pro sports an 8-core 2.26GHz system along with 12GB of memory and three years of AppleCare from ExperComm for $3,149. A desktop which fits somewhere between a MacBook and a Mac Pro workstation is the iMac. There is a 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo iMac with 27-inch display and AppleCare for $1,599.
Along the way, we’ll also check out cases for your iPhone, as well as a solar charger. As always, details on these and many other items are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the jump.
