With just days before Christmas, we highlight three Mac deals for the harried, last-minute holiday shopper. If you have an iPod on your list, but you don’t want to cross that mystical $100 barrier, Apple still has 8GB iPod nanos for just $99. Not often does shipping make it into the headlines, but as retailers pull out all the stops to attract online sales, Apple still has free next-day delivery. But hurry – 1pm EST Wednesday is the deadline. Last on our top trio seems perfect for all those iPhone owners out there: 80 percent off select cases for the Apple handset. (We also have a 50% off deal for iPod touch owners.)

Along the way, we have deals on a skin for the Nike+ iPod running sensor, the latest batch of App Store price drops and more software for your iPhone or iPod touch. For details on these and many more bargains, check out CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the break.

Good news for last-minute shoppers via Dealnews: The Apple Store offers free shipping via next-day delivery with no minimum purchase required. That’s Apple’s best shipping discount this year. Sales tax is added where applicable. Customized items and gift cards are excluded. Orders of in-stock, non-custom configuration items placed by 1 pm ET on December 23 will arrive in time for Christmas.

With the official start of winter, we look at the few remaining days until Christmas. We start the week with three hardware deals, including a free one-day shipping offer that could rival the Macs being sold. First up is a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook for $870 from PC Connection. Next, are two more deals from the Apple Store, each offering free next-day delivery. If you still want a Mac under the tree, but have been waiting for lower prices, this may be your day. Apple has a number of Macs, starting with Core 2 Duo iMacs for $849. There are also offers on MacBooks, MacBook Airs, Mac Pro desktops and Mac Pro Xeon servers. An 8GB iPod nano for $99 from the Apple Store rounds out our top trio of deals.

It’s Cyber Monday, so there’s a lot of good deals out there today. But these three deals in particular caught our eye:

• Logitech’s Squeezebox Radio — $149 at Amazon. The Squeezebox is a fantastic internet radio that looks and sounds great. It makes it dead easy to listen to thousands of online radio stations. Works great with Macs and Apple Airport networks (full review coming soon).  Normally $199, but on sale at Amazon for $149. This is a good deal. Recommended.
• Samsung 52″ 1080p 120Hz Widescreen LCD HDTV for $1,399 — 52% off at Amazon. Samsung’s big-screen HDTVs are some of the best available right now, but it’s difficult to choose the right one. The company has tons of models with slightly different features. There’s several models exclusive to Best Buy on sale right now, for example, but they tend to be crippled, offering last year’s tech, limited connectivity or slower refresh rates. But the LN52A750 52″ LCD HDTV at Amazon looks like a killer deal. This box is 1080p and has excellent connectivity — four HDMI ports, VGA, component and others, plus two USB (for watching MPEG movies off a thumbdrive). It’s also got a 120Hz refresh rate, which is much better than last year’s 60Hz. And it’s 52% off. The LN52A750 is on sale at Amazon for $1,399.99 with free shipping (that’s a $1,500.00 saving).
• Dell Inspiron Mini 10v — $279 at Dell Home. When it comes to netbook Hackintoshes, Dell’s Mini 10v is your best option. It’s a well-made little machine and thanks to new OS X distros, all the hardware works right out of the box (including WiFi). Dell Home offers the Inspiron Mini 10v for $279 with free shipping (that’s $119 off).

Next is a 13-inch MacBook laptop, running 2.26 GHz with 4GB RAM and 500GB HD for $1,149.
