Deal of the Day #2 - 9/30/09

Hello All,

The tubes were again right and the Wii is now $199.99 at most places. You can find it for here at that price anytime.

I like my Wii but the wife has used it way more than I have. It is a decent party system, but I rarely turn it on to use by myself.

Hello All,

Amazon is selling the Garmin Nuvi 850 on special today for $164.99, shipped to your door. This is a 4.3" widescreen GPS with text to speech, voice recognition, and a FM transmitter built in so you can broadcast both mp3s and the navigation directions over your car speakers.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 360 and I am very pleased with it. It has worked great on several road trips in the past few years.

You can find reviews here, and here.

Apple 9/9/09 Event Wrap-up

Hello All,

Apple announced new iPod Nanos, iPod Touches, iPod shuffles, and iPod classics yesterday, along with new software for the iPhone, and new iTunes 9.

What does this mean and why am I writing about it? Excellent questions. This means that the old stock is getting cleaned out, and now is the best time to get the prior generation models for reduced prices.

Apple themselves have cut prices on the refurbished old models, you can find the details below:

iPod Nano

• 8GB - $99
• 16GB - $129

Overall not a great deal, the new ones are only $149 for 16Gb and include a video camera and FM tuner. If you are looking for a basic and cheap iPod, maybe the 8GB is for you, but I would spring for the new ones myself.

iPod Touch

• 8GB - $149
• 16GB - $199
• 32GB - $249

These are kind of good deals. The new 8GB is the same as the old one, just with reduced price to $199, so you can save $50, or 25% by buying a refurbished model. The 16GB has been dropped from the new models all together, so if you want that size you have no choice but to get one now. The 32GB is not a steal at that price. The new 32 is only $299 and has double the processor speed of the last generation. This means nothing for mp3 playing, but for email, web browsing, video game playing, it means a lot.

iPod Classic

• 120GB - $199

This is a decent deal. The new models are 40GB bigger (160GB), but cost $249. If you need that space the new one is the way to go. If I took every mp3 I have it would not fill the 120GB so saving the money seems smart, as there are no new features on the classic.

iPod Shuffle

• 1GB - $39
• 2Gb - $59

The new ones are $59 for 2GB and $79 for 4GB. The new ones are smaller, and have to be controlled by the ear buds. Depending on what you use it for, the old ones are probably a better deal, but if you just use it to run, or walk or whatever, get a new one.

I hope that helps you with your iPod buying, and there will be more to come.

iPod Update

Hello All,

I probably should have posted this earlier, but better late than never. Apple is having a special event Tuesday September 9th. They will likely be announcing a whole new line of iPods. If you have not gotten an iPod but are close to picking one up, wait until next week. The current models will drop in price, and the new ones might be worth paying full price for, who knows.

More as I hear it.
