We close out the week with a trio of software deals. A new crop of App Store freebies were released, including “Message in a Bottle Pro,” a random messaging application. Also on tap is the iPhone/iPod touch game “JetBall,” a brick breaker. Finally, whether you want to work or just handle life’s daily tasks, there is a deal on the appropriate Apple application package. Either iWorks ’09 or iLife ’09 are $41.
As always, details on these and many other items (such as an iPhone/iPod dock extender) are available on CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
Below are downloads of several free applications available for a limited time from Apple’s App Store, with price drops from $1 to $4.
