Google itself has confirmed that they are working with a partner and building a new device with new mobile features and capabilities. Jessica Vascellaro from the Wall Street Journal posted that the name of the phone is the Nexus One phone and it’s being manufactured by HTC, and John Gruber from Daring Fireball even reported seeing a Nexus One in his traffic logs. Google has not confirmed the name is Nexus One, but until they do that’s the name we will be referring to their phone as.

Black Friday 2009 deal: New Apple iPod touch 32 GB w/Starter bundle for $278 at Walmart

Doug — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 06:12:14 +0000

Today is Black Friday. If you live in the US you can get some pretty good deals from certain stores. If you are like me, you are smart and you’re shopping for your Black Friday products online instead of going to a store and waiting in line for hours. Walmart is selling the iPod Touch 3rd generation 32GB model for $278 (online only).

The starter kit includes a USB AC Wall Charger, Audio Splitter, Car Charger, Screen Protector Cleaning Cloth, 3.5 MM Cable, Carrying Pouch, 3 Silicone Cases (Clear, Black, and Pink), and an Airplane Adapter. This is a pretty good deal if you ask me, I paid full price for my iPod touch and didn’t get any extras.

The current price of the iPod touch 32GB on Apple’s website shows up as $299, but it will be adjusted later today when Apple launches it’s Black Friday sale. If you’d rather want to purchase from Apple, I recommend waiting until Apple.com launches the discounts on it’s website. I doubt they’ll include a starter kit like Walmart i including. If you want to buy the 32 GB iPod touch from Walmart, click here. If you find any other iPod touch deals, let us know in the comments.

Black Friday Internet sales are the smartest way to shop for deals

Doug — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 05:31:02 +0000

Today is Black Friday, and many people are already waiting outside stores to get some good deals. For me it is always hard to get the good deals, and there is no way I will wait outside a store for hours just to get a small discount. I’m going to be looking at the Black Friday Internet sales and seeing if I can find a good deal. A lot of major retailers like Dell, Walmart, Best Buy, and others have Black Friday sales online as well. Apple seems to be offering the best discounts when it comes to laptops, and this is the only time of the year that they offer a discount that is this big. If you’re looking to get an Apple product, now is the time!

Shopping online is great, because you don’t need to wait for hours, run around the store like crazy, or go through some ticketing process. It is very easy, fast, and convenient. You also get to research the deals and see whether or not they are really that great or not. I remember checking some Black Friday deals that sounded great, but when I checked them online I found out that I could get it cheaper without any sale.

If you are shopping on Black Friday, and you are reading this then I highly recommend that you shop online. It is the safest way to shop. To find stores that have Black Friday deals online, check this link. If you find any deals that you like, please feel free to share it in the comments.
