In today’s deal highlights, we focus on the iPad and iPhone. First up is a free business and finance app for your iPad, including “Pocket MBA – 101 Financial Solutions Course.” Next is the latest round of free iPhone applications, such as “Palm Heroes.” Finally, there is a two-year SquareTrade warranty for your iPhone. The $93.75 warranty goes beyond AppleCare to provide protection for spills and drops.
Along the way, we’ll check out other iPhone software, cases and a deal on an 8GB iPod touch. As always, details on these and many other items are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the jump.

Today only, SquareTrade offers its SquareTrade iPhone 2-Year Warranty for $99. Coupon code “WORKER” cuts it to $93.75. (Although that’s $5 over last week’s mention, it’s still $30 off and among the best deals we’ve seen for this service.) Unlike AppleCare, SquareTrade’s extended warranty also includes drop and spill protection. Have other items that need extended warranties? SquareTrade.com also takes 30% off warranties sitewide via the above coupon. (A maximum discount of $30 applies and it doesn’t stack with existing instant markdowns.) That ties our mention from last week and is among the best offers we’ve seen from SquareTrade. (We saw a 35% off discount last week, since expired.)
