Whether you are looking to home your card shark talents on your iPhone, find the best deals at MacWorld or grab an inexpensive AT&T iPhone 4, we have it all here. First up is a batch of iPhone App freebies, including “700 Solitaire Games,” which unsurprisingly offers plenty of practice for the favorite computer card game. Also, instead of just wandering around the upcoming MacWorld event, why not have an iPhone app that will point you to the most-interesting gadgets on the showroom? We wrap up our spotlight deals with some bargains on refurbished iPhone 4s, including a 16GB model for just $79 plus AT&T activation.
Along the way, we’ll also take a look at other Mac gadgets, including a 27-inch LED Cinema Monitor, an iPod/iPhone charger and some software for your kids. As always, details on all of these items, and much more, can be found on the CoM “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
