We start out the week with a hardware deal, some classic reading for your iPhone and some just-plain fun for your Apple handset. First u is a MacConnection deal on a 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo Mac mini Server for $750. The desktop machine includes two 500GB drives. Next is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, an audiobook of the Mark Twain classic for your iPhone, iPad or iPod. We wrap up our highlighted deals with “Gravity Runner,” a scrolling, gravity-altering game for your iPhone from the iTunes App Store.
Along the way, we’ll also check out other iPhone software and Mac-related hardware. As usual, details on these and many other items can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the jump.
