We start off the last Daily Deals of 2010 with some New Year-themed apps for your iPhone. First up is a new crop of price drops on selected apps from the iPhone App Store, including the physics-based game “Burn the Rope.” Next is “Diner Dash,” an app seeming ideal for this time of the year when food is the center of our attention. We close out the deal spotlight with an app that might help you keep your New Year’s resolution for more exercise. “RunKeep Pro” keeps track of your fitness activity via the iPhone’s GPS sensor.
Along the way, we take a look at more apps for the iPhone, including “Real Soccer 2011”, as well as deals on the iMac and Mac Pro Xeon workstation.
Like usual, details on these and many other items can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page, which starts right after the jump.
Here’s our wish for a happy, safe and prosperous New Year.
