We close out another week with an iPhone extravaganza in the spotlight. First up is the latest crop of iPhone application price cuts, including “Toy Story Mania.” Next is a new batch of freebies from the iPhone App Store, such as “Garmin Pilot My-Cast Aviation,” a weather and flight-planning tool. We wrap-up with a deal on Verizon’s iPhone 4, which began sales to the general public Thursday.
Along the way, we check out cases for your iPad, deals on MacPros and iMacs, along with software and accessories. As always, details on these and many other items can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.
