We end the week with a continuing flood (alright, two) of iPods. Today it is the touch’s turn, with 8GB and 32GB models on sale. We all knew love was on life support, but Apple’s iTunes Store gives us the bad news: Love is Dead – and free. Finally, there are the Digital Performance Glasses from Metropole. They may not give you x-ray vision, but they are way cool.
Details on these and many other bargains are as close as clicking to the next page of CoM’s Daily Deals.

The Apple Store lowered prices on its factory-refurbished, 2nd-generation Apple iPod touch MP3 players.
