Friday AppStore Bargains

TUAW is totally deal-icious these days. Here's our second App Store bargain roundup of the week!

Equivalence
We went hands on with Equivalence just a few days ago and now this converter app is on sale for $1.99 until October 6th. It's normally priced at $4.99.

Fuzzle
CandyCane is selling Fuzzle for a limited time for free. The price will be going up to $1.99 at some undetermined time in the future. Fuzzle is a Jawbreaker-esque game. Update: looks like the sale ended. I got my (full) version for free yesterday, which is when this post was written up.

FlipBook
Normally priced at $9.99, FlipBook will go on sale for Friday only for $4.99. We reviewed this application last month on TUAW.

Freeverse Games
Freeverse has lowered their prices across the board -- every game now costs $4.99 or less.

Deep Discount Apple TV

TUAW reader Cannonball found an amazing deal on Apple TV at Sams Club in Murfreesboro, TN for $153.01. Call your local Sams Club and see whether they are offering clearance Apple TVs as well and, if they are, let us know in the comments.

For all of you wondering about the big fuss, not only is Apple TV a great and thoroughly hackable toy but it is also, essentially, a very inexpensive Mac Mini. Check out the wiki at Awkward TV for wonderful ways to hack your unit.

Apple lowers price of 8 gig iPhone to $399

There's really no excuse any more. You can now buy an 8GB iPhone for just $399, take it home, activate it, and use it with a prepaid card or existing AT&T account. If the unlocks prove to be working, add TMobile into that equation. What are you waiting for? Is this news enough to get you to buy an iPhone? Let us know in the comments.

Update: 4GB models selling now for $299 while they last. Refurb 8GB for $349.

iTunes bargain Audio Books

If you're planning a trip and are looking for some inexpensive spoken books, iTunes put up a special 25 books for under $5 page that you might want to check out. These audio books include material ranging from Steven King and Jerry Seinfeld to Elie Wiesel and Ann Coulter. Be aware that most of these selections are abridged or based around short material, so there's generally a good reason they don't cost as much as most full-length audio books. The cheapest item, Harry G. Frankfurt's "On Bulls**t" (Apple adds even more asterisks than I) costs just $2.95 for an hour's frank discussion.

iLamps galore at Target

Last night, I took my eldest daughter and headed over to Target to replace our dying handvac. While there, we did our usual end-cap promenade to see what items had received the red-tag blessing of clearance. I was surprised to find several dozen iLamps marked down by 75%, apparently left over from the Christmas rush.

Other than the iLamps and a number of extremely ugly iPod cases, there were not a lot of iPod-related bargains to be found and the main (non-clearance) iPod section had been picked clean. Those of you who take pleasure in such things will be tickled to note that the Zune section remained in almost pristine pre-Christmas condition. If you're in need of an iLamp (and at that price, who isn't?), you may want to call ahead to check availability at your local store before you rush-on over to experience red sticker madness.

Save 10% - iTunes $50 gift card for $45 at Costco

Christopher Breen at Playlist's iPod blog found a great little deal on iTunes gift cards. Costco.com is offering the $50 gift card for $45 while supplies last. Breen mentions that local Costcos brick and mortar retail outlets may have a limited supply available for sale as well.

This is a great price for a last-second gift. I'd hardly call a $45 item a stocking stuffer, but it would fit very nicely into most people's small-sized gift needs.

Christmas Bargains

The Kansas City Star points out that prices have dropped on many consumer electronics this shopping season. Case in point? The updated and redesigned iPod Nano is selling for far under Christmas 2005 prices. Take the 4G model. In 2005, you'd spend $249. This year? $199. That's a 20% price drop right there.

Willing to buy a refurb? $149 and free shipping--at least for now. Refurb iPods are flying out of the Apple store as fast as they're being posted. If you're looking for a refurb, be vigilant. Keep checking the inventory on a daily (or even hourly) basis.

The Star article states that American consumers may spend as much as $21 billion on gadgets during the end-of-the-year shopping season.

Tip of the Day

Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.
