Still not recovered from the sugar-laced holidays? What better way to recuperate and get ready for 2010 by perusing some great deals on gadgets? We start off with a trio of Apple products, ranging from iPods to iMacs. If you didn’t get an iPod touch for Christmas, there’s still time to nab an 8GB version of the popular touch for $180. Do you want to update your desktop? There is a deal on a 24-inch iMac (2.93 GHz Core 2 Duo) with three years of AppleCare for $1,399. Or, maybe you’re in the market for a MacBook Pro? Expercom has a 15-inch 2.93 GHz MacBook Pro laptop with three years of AppleCare for $2,099.
Along the way, there are bargains on iPhone cases, storage and assorted gadgets and services. For details on these and other items, check out CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the jump.
