- HOT!
- iPhone extended battery for $20 (expired) (repost)
Energizer iPhone Extended Battery for $20 with free shipping.
We can vouch that it does extend the battery life of the iPhone by about 70% more, and very useful when traveling or in a place where charging the phone is not convenient.
Because it makes the iPhone a bit bulky and provides little actual protective shielding, this is probably not the kind of thing you want on your phone all the time.
However, the Energizer device can be charged by itself (without the phone), it can be extremely useful for people constantly on the go.
Keep one of these charged at home or at the office (or even better, buy two and keep one charged in both places).
If you have a meeting or need to run out and your phone is already low on battery, just grab the Energizer and it will recharge your phone.
If your phone's battery is at 20%, a fully charged Energizer can charge the phone to about 75% in a little over an hour.
Limit 3 per person.
This deal expires sometime tonight.
Most other stores sell it for around $45.

Vostro 1320 13" Laptop for $549 with coupon GD456QJ1Q0ML1H .
It's the $599 laptop with Core 2 Duo T6670 processor, 2GB memory, 250GB hard drive, CD/DVD Burner, 6-cell battery, Windows 7.
Vostro 1520 15" Laptop for $519 with coupon GD456QJ1Q0ML1H .
It's the $569 model with Core 2 Duo T6670 processor, 3GB memory, 320GB hard drive, CD/DVD Burner, 6-cell battery, Windows 7.
Sharp 47" LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV for $699.
TVs like this usually cost around $900.
It has mostly good reviews, however one negative review should be noted before considering buying it.
In our opinion and experience, Sharp TV's with the letters "SB" in the middle of their model number are Sharp's lower-end models, and not as good quality as other Sharp TV's.
Midland Two-Way Rechargeable Radios for $43 with coupon EMCYNNP56 .
These are a slightly better version than the ones which were on sale at Amazon last weekend for $30.
Plantronics In-Ear Headset with Mic for $9 with coupon EMCYNNP59 .
It has two plugs, one for stereo audio and the other for the mic, so it's designed for use with a computer with two plugs.
Newegg.com
- LG Blu-Ray Player for $100 (repost)
LG Blu-Ray Player for $120 with free shipping, and promo code EMCYNZX24 gives $20 off in the cart.
It's a basic Blu-Ray player with high-definition Blu-Ray, Up-Convert DVD, and MP3 audio capability, but without BD-Live or streaming Internet video.
Most of the reviews are positive.
It's essentially a thin screen/pad with an easier interface than a computer.
Similar to Apple's new iPad, the Dreamscreen lets you access Internet content, play music and videos, and control home entertainment.
Unlike the iPad and Amazon Kindle, the Dreamscreen is not designed for reading books, but it is possible if you know what you're doing.
Amazon.com
- 7" Portable TV for $77 (repost)
Viore 7" Portable LCD TV (PLC7V95) for $77 with free shipping.
It has a built-in digital tuner (ATSC), and includes a rechargeable battery, power adapter, tiny magnetic antenna, and remote control.
Most of the reviews are positive, and could be a good deal for someone who needs a small/portable TV.
The tiny antenna works okay, but would certainly work best if you're within 5 miles of the broadcast antennas.
It has a 1.5 hour battery life, so some people may find it useful at brief tailgate parties and picnics.
As for a backup TV in case of a power outage, 1.5 hours is really not much.
It also has a built-in USB port and Secure Digital card reader for playing digital photos (jpg), videos (divx), and music (mp3).
For $4 more, a Axion 7" Portable LCD TV is available.
It has a better antenna and similar battery, but doesn't play MP3 and video files from memory cards.
Casio Exilim EX-S12 Compact Digital Camera for $165 with coupon 24HRSALE217J .
Casio's cameras are not as popular as Canon and Kodak, but they make really nice, slim cameras of great quality.
Other stores sell this camera for around $15 more, and it has good reviews.
LG 52" LCD 1080p HDTV for $1100 with coupon 24HRSALE217F .
It's either an older model, discontinued product replaced by newer, more expensive 52" TVs, or it's exclusive to Newegg.
Dell.com
- Sony 32" HDTV for $369
Sony Bravia KLH-W32 32" LCD 720p HDTV for $369 when adding it to the cart along with coupon 8XV2XG82VC3?1H .
Pretty average price for a 32" LCD these days, but a good price for a Sony 32" TV.
Also a Sharp 32" LCD 720p HDTV & DVD Player is available for $380 with coupon KKMN9162SRDH4$ in the cart.
It has a built-in side-loaded DVD player (regular DVD player, not Blu-Ray, and not an up-convert).
Newegg.com
- Garmin 265WT GPS for $167
Garmin 265WT GPS with lifetime traffic updates for $167 with free shipping.
Also includes a free GPS carrying case.
The traffic updates help plan a route to avoid delays, however it's important to note some non-traffic related drawbacks about GPSs:
they are meant to be used as a helper only.
Directions in urban areas, especially where there are dozens of possible routes to the same destination, are not always the best routes for you.
The GPS will often plan what it thinks is the shortest route, but may not know about traffic lights, vehicle restrictions, and other delays on surface roads versus highways/freeways.
When it gives you directions, zoom out and pan around the area to see if there may be better roads to take than the ones it recommends. Update (2/14):
The free carrying case is no longer available, but still a good deal at $167.
Newegg.com
- Garmin 285WT GPS for $120
Garmin 285WT GPS for $120 with free shipping, and includes a free GPS travel bag.
Most stores sell just the GPS for around $140.

Amazon.com
- Panasonic 32" LCD 1080p HDTV $380 (expired)
Panasonic TC-L32S1 32" LCD 1080p HDTV for $380 with free shipping.
While it is the 2009 model, it has pretty good specs for the price, 3 HDMI inputs, and a Secure Digital card reader.
Most other stores sell it for around $470.
JR.com
- JVC 32" LCD 1080p HDTV with iPod Dock for $424
JVC LT-32P300 32" LCD 1080p HDTV with 6ms response time, 3 HDMI inputs, 1 VGA input, 2 component video inputs, and Teledock for $424 with free shipping.
Native contrast ratio is a little low at 1500:1 true contrast, 3700:1 dynamic.
Their "Teledock" is designed for mounting an iPod on the TV, for playing video, audio, and photos while charging the iPod.
Page 13 on this Teledock info shows the only iPods compatible with this TV, including iPod, iPod 4G/5G, Touch, Nano 1G/2G/3G/4G, and iPod Mini.
The FAQ on page 15 says it is not iPhone compatible.
Even without the iPod dock, $424 is a pretty good deal for a 1080p 32" TV.
Some reviews are good, some reviews are fair.
Walmart.com
- Blu-Ray Player for $79 (repost)
Magnavox Blu-Ray Disc Player for $78 plus about $1 shipping.

HandHeldItems.com
- iPhone extended battery for $26 (repost)
$25, then code hhiapocket1750 gives $5 off in the cart, plus $6 shipping.
It not only increases the battery time of the phone, but it also increases the size of the iPhone making it less convenient to put in your pocket.
But the reviews are pretty good.
Dell.com
- Vizio 47" LCD 1080p HDTV and wall-mount for $850
Vizio VT470M 47" 1080p LCD HDTV for $849 with free shipping.
Also includes a tiltable wall-mounting plate.
Most stores sell just this TV for at least $100 more, without a wall-mounting plate.
Wall-mounting a TV and hiding the wires look very clean and cool.
To install the wall-mounting plate, you need a stud finder to locate at least 2 studs in the wall, a bubble level, and a power drill.
Flat plates (like the one included) will work with large TVs and either wood or metal wall studs.
Note that putting a 37" or greater TV on a wall plate with an extendable arm may cause damage to metal studs, which is why a flat plate such as this is safer for mounting a large screen TV in homes with metal studs.
Additionally, there may be certain fire-code restrictions when running an electrical cord through the wall, so consulting an electrician is strongly recommended before running wires through the wall.
Also if you rent your place rather than own, check with the landlord for permission to drill into the studs.
Newegg.com
- LG 47" LCD 1080p Wireless 120Hz HDTV $1030
LG 47LH85 47" Wireless 1080p 120Hz HDTV for $1000 plus $30 shipping.
Most stores sell it for at least $1200.
Connect your TV sources to a media box and place somewhere in the room, and it wirelesly transmits the video to the TV.
Only the power cable is needed to plug directly into the TV.
This is really designed with wall-mounting in mind.
Newegg.com
- Garmin 285WT GPS for $107 (expired)
Garmin Nuvi 285WT Portable/Vehicle GPS for $125 plus $2 shipping, and coupon 24HRSALE23D gives $20 off in the cart.
A pretty good since since every other store sells it for at least $125.
It includes a MSN traffic subscription for 9 months, afterward a fee applies to continue to receive traffic updates.
If you want lifetime traffic with the GPS, an older model Garmin Nuvi 255WT includes free lifetime traffic from Navteq and goes for $170 at BestBuy stores, or add $7 for home delivery.
Apparently MSN and Navteq get their traffic updates from the same source, so the traffic updates should be identical on the 255WT and the 285WT.
Walmart.com
- Blu-Ray Player for $75
Magnavox Blu-Ray Disc Player for $68 plus about $7 shipping.
In-store pickup is not available.
It's a very basic player with only decent reviews.
Newegg.com
- Sony Networked Blu-Ray Player for $145
Sony BDP-N460 Networked Blu-Ray Player for $145 with free shipping.
Most other stores sell it for around $200.
It has mostly good reviews, and the best feature is the ability to play videos directly from online services such as Youtube and Netflix.
Needs to be connected to the Internet to use BD-Live and Youtube/Netflix online streaming videos.
You can plug a wired ethernet cable from this player to your router, or buy a wireless adapter add-on to connect wirelessly to your wireless router.
A couple compatible wireless add-on adapters are a Linksys WET-610N and a Linksys WGA-600N and cost around $90.
Buy.com
- 6-Outlet Swiveling Surge Protector for $10
Philips 6-Outlet Swiveling Surge Strip for $10 with free shipping.
Other stores usually sell it for around $20.
Apparently the "swivel" just means it has a swivel handle for easy hanging and cord management, so basically it's designed for use in garages and work rooms.
Newegg.com
- 7" Portable TV for $70 (expired)
Viore 7" Portable LCD TV (PLC7V95) for $70 with free shipping.
It has a built-in digital tuner (ATSC), and includes a rechargeable battery, power adapter, magnetic antenna, and remote control.
Most of the reviews are positive, and could be a good deal for someone who plans to be away from a regular/home TV next Sunday but still wants to catch the Colts/Saints football game.
It has a 1.5 hour battery life, so some people may find it useful at tailgate parties and picnics.
Also has a built-in USB port and Secure Digital card reader for playing digital photos (jpg), videos (divx), and music (mp3).
This $70 deal likely expires tonight, afterward Amazon should still have it for $80.

- TomTom One 140 GPS for $90
Far from the best GPS on the market, but a good value for a simple GPS since most other stores sell it for around $95 to $100.
Newegg.com
- LG Blu-Ray Player for $100 (repost)
LG BD270 Blu-Ray Player for $100 with free shipping.
This is the same player which was on sale at Newegg for $80 around Thanksgiving, but still a great deal at $100 since most stores sell it for around $125.
It does not hook up to the Internet and does not have BD-Live like some players do, but it a pretty good & simple Blu-Ray player and seems like a great value.
Rosewill Memory Card Reader Drive for Desktop PC for $9.
Goes into a desktop computer's 3.5" drive bay, and plugs internally into a "USB Header" port on the motherboard.
If your computer case has USB port(s) on the front or top of the case, and if your motherboard has only one "USB Header" port, then you will need to unplug the USB ports in favor of this one.
Most motherboards have 2 USB Header ports, and this drive bay also gives you a USB port as well.
6ave.com
- LG Blu-Ray Player with Wifi for $332
LG BD390 Networked Blu-Ray Player for $349 with free shipping, and coupon AFL5 gives 5% off in the cart.
Most other stores sell it for around $380.
It's one of the only players which support wireless network (g or n) connectivity to a wireless router, for downloading BD-Live content and streaming Netcast/Netflix movies.
Same player without Wifi, the BD370 (requires wired network connectivity) costs $170 after coupon AFL5 or costs the same at Newegg.
If you're looking for a regular Blu-Ray player without fancy streaming video and networking features, a LG BD270 Blu-Ray Player for $130 from Newegg, and includes a free $10 gift card
(other stores sell it for around $136 without a free gift card).
LG 47" LCD Wireless 1080p 120Hz HDTV (47LH85) for $1500, and includes a $300 Newegg gift card.
Most stores sell it for at least $1500 without an available gift card.
This is a new kind of HDTV, designed for easy wall-mounting since you only need to plug in a power cord.
Place the included media box somewhere in the room, plug all the TV sources into the box (cable or satellite TV, Blu-Ray player, gaming system, etc)
and it wirelessly transmits an uncompressed 1080p signal to the TV.
Most reviews of this new kind of HDTV are positive.
Sony is also expected to release a similar wireless TV soon.
Keep in mind electricity is still needed for any HDTV, so wall-mounting may require an electrician to run a power outlet to that spot on the wall.
Newegg.com
- iPhone extended battery for $22 (repost)
Energizer iPhone Extended Battery for $20 plus $2 shipping.
We can vouch that it does almost double the battery life of an iPhone, and very useful when traveling where no iPhone chargers are nearby.
It is also nice to be able to detach the extended battery from the phone, allowing you charge just the battery while carrying the phone.
It also charges the phone and connects to a computer through a USB-Mini connection, which is a nice alternative when an iPod/iPhone cable is not handy.
Newegg.com
- Toshiba 32" LCD 720p HDTV for $350 (repost)
Toshiba 32AV502R 32" LCD 720p HDTV for $350 with free shipping.
This is a great deal if you are looking for a 32" HDTV today.
BuyDig also sells it for the same price, and most other stores sell it for around $400.
HDTV prices are slowly falling, especially on 720p displays (because 1080p are in greater demand), so if you can wait a few weeks and don't think manufacturers will slow production of 32" 720p displays, you will likely save another $20 or $30 on a 32" HDTV.
Amazon.com
- Harmony 700 Universal Remote Control for $105 after rebate (expired)
Logitech Harmony 700 Universal Remote Control for $120 with free shipping (about the same price as other stores), but they also have a $15 mail-in rebate available if postmarked by Feb 22.
HandHeldItems.com
- iPhone extended battery for $26
$25 with free shipping, and code hhiapocket1750 gives $5 off in the cart, plus $6 shipping.
It does increase the size of the iPhone by a little bit.
For a similar device, check out Newegg's Energizer iPhone Extended Battery (for $22 after shipping fee) which we can vouch that it does double the battery life of an iPhone.
The Energizer is a little less expensive, and both devices appear to be the same size and give roughly the same battery life extension.
Newegg.com

Cheap, and good as a spare or extra keyboard.

This is the 55", they also make a 47".

LG's website,
connect up to 4 HDMI sources (television, Blu-Ray player, gaming system, etc) to a media box in the room, which wirelessly transmits an uncompressed 1080p signal to your HDTV.
It has mostly positive
reviews.

Zagg.com
- 35% off today only, code: HOLIDAY35 (expired)
While not cheap, Zagg's invisible shields are thin, clear protective cover for many phones and portable devices.
They are popular with iPhone, iPhone 3G/3GS, Blackberry, and iPods, and they also make screen protectors for portable GPSs and some laptop computer screens.
Today only they are offering a rare 35% off discount with code HOLIDAY35 .
Shipping adds about $3 for an order containing small protectors, or more when ordering a protector for a large device like a laptop computer protector.
They make both screen protectors and back protectors for many portable devices, but usually protecting your screen from scratches is far more useful than protecting the back.
There are plenty of very inexpensive protective shields for phones that work pretty well, so those are best if you're looking to save money.
The Zagg screens give some of the best protection around, but they do cost a bit more than others, and can take time to install properly.
They have several videos which demonstrate how durable the material is, and if the material ever becomes damaged, send a photo of the damaged product to Zagg and they will send you a free replacement.
Installation on an iPhone can take about an hour, and a Zagg installation video shows a demonstration.
Here's an installation tip.
Some BestBuy stores will install it for you, for a small fee.
If you don't feel comfortable trying it on your own, take your phone and the screen protector to a BestBuy store and see if they will do it for you.
Often you can find a technician who has practice installing the shields, and can do a good job for you.

Some Blu-Ray Player Deals:
Blu-Ray players are capable of playing high-definition Blu-Ray discs that you rent or buy, and can up-convert standard DVDs to 1080p.
Here is a repost of some Blu-Ray player deals posted in the last few weeks, which are still available:
Regular Blu-Ray Player:
LG BD-270 Blu-Player for $100 with coupon EMCMNMV54 from Newegg.
Order before Monday afternoon and it will be delivered by December 24.
This is the same player which was on sale at Newegg for $80 a couple weeks ago, but still a good deal at $100 since most stores sell it for around $125 today.
It does not hook up to the Internet and does not have BD-Live like some players do, but it a pretty good player for the price.
Blu-Ray player with BD-Live:
Sony BDP-S360 Blu-Ray Player for $127 with free shipping from Amazon.
Regular shipping is not guaranteed to arrive by December 24, unless you have Amazon Prime or sign up for a free trial for it.
Signing up for a free trial is risky, because they will charge you $79 if you forget to cancel within a month.
Sony BDP-S360 Blu-Ray Player for $130 with coupon SONYBDPS360AFF from Sony, and includes free delivery by December 24.
Enter the code on Sony's site as the "eCoupon Number" during checkout (after signing in).

Connects to the Internet through your router via cable (not wireless/wifi).
Samsung BD-P3600 Blu-Ray Player with wifi for $219 from Newegg.
Guaranteed delivery by December 24 if ordered by Monday afternoon.
However this player has some poor reviews as well as good ones.
A Sony Playstation 3 for $280 with coupon BQ?GSVLT3DNGVC from Dell.com, and does connect to the Internet with wifi but lacks Netflix and plays Blu-Ray movies.
An LG BD-390 is rare to find in-stock under $275, and does support BD-Live, Netflix, and wirelessly connects to the Internet through your wireless router.
