Apple’s One-Day Shopping Event is Here

Black Friday is here and the deals are pouring in. Apple has announced this year’s Black Friday one-day shopping event. They have dropped their prices on Macs, iPads, iPods, and a pluthera of accessories. If you were looking to do some post-Thanksgiving shopping then look no further because Apple has some great deals today.

First up we have some nice savings on Mac hardware covering all models except the Mac mini and the Mac pro.

Also on sale are the iPad 2s and the iPod lineup with the only exceptions being the iPod shuffle and iPod classic.

On top of the great deals on Apple’s flagship devices are also some pretty terriffic savings on both Apple and third-party accessories.

Other accessories include Apple’s Wireless Keyboard ($58), Magic Mouse ($58), Magic Trackpad ($58), and Time Capsule device ($278). Also check out the deals on $50 iTunes gift cards which are $45 today only. That is as good as free money to me because I know I would have paid full price for an iTunes gift card at some point this holiday season.

If you decide to purchase a product during this holiday sale don’t forget to make use of Apple’s gift services including free engraving on iPods and iPads as well as their iconic gift wrap. The item will be packaged in Apple’s signature white gift box and wrapped in red ribbon. It will also include a personalized greeting card so the only finger you will have to lift this holiday season will be to click the Buy now button.
