Black Friday Deals: Apple Accessories, Peripherals and Software is a post by Kevin Purcell from Notebooks.com.

Black Friday is in full swing and we want to hear about your experience- good, bad and ugly. One lucky reader will win a brand new 32GB iPod Touch. Read on for details!

The new Appel iPod Touch is one of the most wished for item this holiday season. Many call the iPod Touch the ‘iPhone without the phone,’ which is largely an accurate statement. The iPod Touch comes loaded with iOS4.2, the same software that runs the iPhone 4. The iPod Touch can run virtually all of the same apps as the iPhone and now features Facetime, allowing for free video calling to others with iOS4 devices or Macs with Facetime Beta installed.

If you’ve read this far, you probably know what the iPod Touch is and you probably want one for yourself or a loved one.

Black Friday iPod Touch, iPod Nano Deals – Updated and Available Online is a post by Josh Smith from Notebooks.com.

The iPod Nano is a very small iPod with between 8GB and 16GB of storage. The one on sale is the smaller 8GB model. It comes in a multitude of colors. This year Apple added a tiny touch screen display which can be used to run a few built in apps for displaying the time and of course viewing album art and playing music. One of the built-in apps is an FM radio. Unfortunately, users cannot add apps to the iPod Nano. It also has a new clip, which many have used to turn the tiny iPod Nano into a watch.

Other stores are adding the iPod Nano to their bevy of Black Friday buys. We have some of those listed in our Apple Black Friday roundup. You could get a free $15 gift card at Radio Shack with a purchase. Another deal you’ll find there is at Best Buy where you can get $10 off an iPod Nano.
