Acer Iconia Tab W500 Tablet (32GB, Wi-Fi), $489

Acer Iconia Tab W500When we reviewed the Acer Iconia Tab at its launch in April, we had a 16GB Wi-Fi version running Android 3.0 on our hands. Since then Acer's launched its W500, a Windows 7 Home Premium-based tablet. The 32GB Iconia Tab W500 usually sells for between $524 and $600. Right now, though, you can get it for only $489 at Buy.com--and shipping is free.

Dell Latitude E5420 Core i5 Business Laptop, $839

Latitude E5420When we reviewed the Core i5 model of Dell's Latitude E5420 barely a month ago, it was selling for $1590. At the time we thought it was a bit expensive for a 14-inch laptop with a minimal software bundle. We still gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars for its durability, great performance, and long battery life. Right now, though, Dell has the Latitude E5420 on sale for only $839--a good deal on a great laptop.

Refurbished Zune HD 16GB Media Player, $130

Zune HD 16GBMicrosoft's Zune HD is a solid little media player--not quite on par with the Apple iPod touch--but still, pretty good. When it launched a couple years back, the 16GB version sold for $220; now, since the Zune line was discontinued, it's hard to find. For a limited time, though, you can get a refurbished model from CowBoom.com for only $130; shipping is free.

Take a look at eight of these blossoming apps, all of which are more awesome than ever, and all of which are, amazingly, free.
