Today we look at some very practical Apple deals, including a way to keep your iPod safe; always be prepared for a quick road trip with your iPhone; and a cookbook with recipes to make meals from whatever (or whomever) is on hand. The iPod mobile security lock from Targus encases your music collection in a three-digit combination lock. The traveling kit includes an FM transmitter, screen protector and skin for your iPhone 3G. Lastly, the Zombie Cookbook is an iPhone or iPod touch app that teaches you to make delicious meals from ingredients such as brains, hearts, eyballs and guts.
