We've already told you about Amazon's price-saving application in our holiday-helper roundup. The software allows you to use your iPhone's camera to scan the barcode of a product and compare prices from hundreds of Amazon resellers.
But the online retailer also offers a standalone iPhone app that allows you to compare prices: PriceCheck. It gives you multiple ways to search prices to make sure you get the lowest one. And on December 10th it can save you even more money...

Apple has found itself in the top 5 most-visited online stores in the United States for the first time, according to data compiled by comScore for Black Friday. Sitting pretty in fifth place, Apple is the highest ranking product brand in the list, almost overtaking Target in the fourth spot.
The impressive results come as Apple is also experiencing fantastic sales in its brick and mortar stores, with the Black Friday sales apparently breaking forecasts left and right...
It's Cyber Monday, a day brought about by online retailers to generate the type of sales that brick and mortar stores see on Black Friday. While you generally won't find the "door buster" discounts that surface over the holiday weekend, there are some decent deals.
We've come across one sale in particular that could potentially make your day, depending on what you're looking for. The folks over at Zagg.com, the makers of the InvisibleShield, the Zagg Sparq, and other accessories, have just taken 50% off their entire inventory...
If you needed proof that Apple is indeed recession-proof, then this may be it. Reports surfacing today suggest that Apple's sales for the Black Friday event last week may have been the company's best for a single day, ever.
With the global economy far from at its best, results such as this would certainly reinforce that Apple seems to be immune to the usual pains suffered by tech companies in a climate such as the one we are currently in.
With Black Friday finally over and the madness it creates beginning to dissipate, stores and online retailers are now taking stock and more importantly, counting the cash.
If Best Buy's online store is anything to go by, Apple's iPad has been the big seller this year, with all of the iPad 2 stock now unavailable to order due to high demand. Best Buy did offer a near $50 off discount on the iPad 2 yesterday.
But it's OK, Best Buy still has plenty of of Galaxy Tabs available for purchase...
Black Friday is coming to an end, but that doesn't mean that the holiday related discounts are over. Even after Cyber Monday (the online version of Black Friday) hits next week, retailers are expected to host a number of sales before the end of the year.

Add Electronic Arts to the list of developers that are offering up big discounts on iOS apps this week. We've already seen major holiday sales from Sega and GameLoft, and now we're taking a look at some of EA Mobile's deals.
The game-maker is responsible for some of the App Store's most popular titles, including FIFA, Madden, Need for Speed, and The SIMS. And for a limited time these games, as well as several others, are up to 80% off...
We love our iPhones here at iDB, and even if we do play with an Android or Windows Phone 7 device here and there, we always come back to our iDevices without fail.
According to a new study by research firm GfK, we're not the only ones captivated by our fruity phones. The report claims that of the survey's 4,500 participants across Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil, China, the United States, and Japan, 84% of current iPhone owners said they would buy another iPhone in the next twelve months.
That number drops to a comparatively low 60% for Android users...

If you haven't quite finished your holiday shopping yet, you'll be happy to know that Apple has announced that it will be hosting a Black Friday sale this week. "Black Friday" is the Friday after Thanksgiving and is generally the busiest shopping day of the year.
