Have you been hesitating to buy an iPod touch because they cost too much? Or are you looking for a spare development unit? Or wanna just say "Happy Mother's Day" the right way? Today's Woot/Yahoo deal of the day is selling an iPod Touch for just $225 (including shipping). You can pick up an 8GB iPod touch -- and join that whole iPhone/iPod revolution thing. G'wan. I know you want to. Dump the iPhone-free TUAW feed and become assimilated.
Thanks, TedB.
Remember the Mini? If you're in a retro mood today, you can pick a 4GB iPod up at sellout.woot for just $79 + $5 S/H. It's not a bad deal on an outdated iPod. In contrast, new 2GB shuffles are selling at Apple for $69 and refurbs 4GB nanos for $129 (including $15 gift cards). TUAW reader Greg writes that it's the perfect iPod for leaving in the car.
Gosh, I love Woot.com. Not only are they based in my original hometown (St. Louis, MO, also home of Fried Ravioli and the Bowling Hall of Fame), and not only do they have some great deals on their site (they sell just one item per day, usually at lower-than-normal prices), but they are insightful and funny people. Take, for example, today's item-- it's a Zune (that non-Apple mp3 player that you may have heard of). When Woot offered the Zune a little while ago, not only did they make headlines, but Apple fans really enjoyed it-- it took Microsoft's mp3 player a full 23 hours to completely sell out, even at the low price of $150.
Woot ran a contest last week that asked readers to whip out their Photoshop skills and depict how Apple might re-brand an existing company if they acquired it. The results are in and some of them are amusing enough to share. You can view all the entries in the Woot forums to see which ones didn't make the cut. 
I heard somewhere that there are only something like 30 basic movie plots, and all films are just twists and forks of these original few. Some would say that the same is true for e-business, and they would probably be right. MacUpdate.com has announced a new feature in which a featured piece of software will be heavily discounted and available for only 24 hours. If this concept sounds familiar, it's because it is. The massively successful MacZot got the idea from woot.com, and woot probably found the idea somewhere else.
