If you live in the US, then chances are you've heard of Black Friday. It's the day after Thanksgiving that retailers hold special sales to lure you in to get your holiday shopping dollars. Whether you're shopping for holiday gifts or just looking for deals on stuff, Black Friday and Now Cyber Monday (the Monday following Thanksgiving) are worth checking out. Sometimes the savings can be substantial and if it saves you a few bucks on something you were going to buy anyway, why not take it?
I'm not one to go out and stand in line to save a few bucks on something, however I will absolutely check out deals online for gear.
As you might imagine I get all kinds of emails advertising Black Friday deals. So I've decided to share some of the ones I've hand picked here based on technology, Adobe, iPhone/Apple, Photography and the other things that I'm interested in. So here goes in no particular order:
Amazon.com has been running Black Friday deals all week on all kinds of gear:

Thanks for the “Mophie Juice Black Friday Deal” mention. I was able to order the Juice Pack Air and the Hip Holster for what I would pay just for the Juice Pack Air, here in Toronto. As my in-laws live in Florida I was also able to get free shipping by having it sent to there address (where I will be visiting in a few weeks anyway!)
Thanks again, I never would have known about this deal if I hadn’t seen it here!
Actually, I got both for about $20 less than I would have paid for the Juice Pack Air alone. Awesome!
When do you plan on doing a video on the Iphone tomtom on version 1.2 Ive got it but I have misplaced my iphone so I don’t know how it works and your blog is very helpful More then the really known websites you help me choose my new vent mount for my iphone
Hi, Thanks! It’s on my list. I hope to get to it soon. š
sounds great I hope to see it soon thanks for your reply
Terry,
I was quite surprised at the Apple Black Friday deals (or lack thereof). I am looking at a 27″ quad core system and I was bummed out when there was a big $101.00 off. I guess rumors of Apple’s 10-25% off sales were just that…. I’ll wait a while now. $2,700 will go a long way somewhere else.
