Just in time for summer vacation, Walmart.com has got the Garmin c550 Auto GPS w/ Bluetooth Capability for Handsfree Calling on sale for $198.86. This is the same one that Dell is still selling for $360, and Staples has for $449.99, which in retrospect seems just nutty.

Update 5/3/08 4:24 pm EST: Deal is Sold Out - Sorry. Woot! has the iPod Touch 16GB model (this is refurbished and does NOT include the additional email/weather/stock apps - which costs $20 to download via iTunes). Compared to the Amazon new price of $349 and the Apple refurbished price of $329 - this is an ok deal. Remember that the deals you see on Woot! are only good for one day. And they often sell out quickly. The iPhone Touch is nearly the same experience as an iPhone sans the voice/phone portion (and no monthly $70ish bill from AT&T). I started my Apple addiction with this very model and now you can too.

Holy smokes - can this be right?

PS - Sign up for the HP newsletter and they’ll instantly email you a one-time use $20 Staple’s coupon, bringing this deal down to $129.98.

Here’s a heads up that the Apple Store has refurbished 4GB ($99) and 8GB ($149) iPod Nanos in stock. These are reconditioned models, thus the $50 discount from retail prices. In the past the Apple store has sold out of these quickly - so if you’ve been contemplating an iPod Nano (Mother’s Day gift anyone?) - head on over to Apple before they sell out once again.

The Apple iMac product line was refreshed yesterday - and that means one thing. Refurbs! Once the “older” models have been updated with spry new versions, Apple will move out remaining stock. Sometimes this is done through gradual inventory reductions leading up to the launch. Other times you may find they simply mark the hardware as refurbished and sell it at a discount. The day before the iMacs were updated, the refurbs were selling at a top discount of 17%. Right now the discount reaches all the way up to 31%. These steep discounts on refurbished models won’t last - so if you’ve been thinking of purchasing an iMac and you don’t mind yours may be slightly used - check out the iMac refurbished store.
