Bang & Olufsen is a Danish outfit that makes high-quality goods for audiophiles and videophiles, but most of their products are aimed at consumers who don’t really care about price (translation: expensive.) The A3 iPad dock falls firmly in that category. Most accounts and reviews call it a uniquely and attractively designed — if bizarre — iPad dock and they liked the effect of turning your Apple tablet into a little B&O TV. More »
If you’re reading Gizmodo, I don’t have to tell you what an iPad is. Therefore, Dealzmodo will keep it short: eBay’s daily deal is a 16GB WiFi iPad 4 for $475. That’s $25 off what Apple (and everyone else) charges and you won’t have to pay tax, so you’ll end up saving a little more on top. Sure, it’s not most enormous discount in the world, but it is the latest and greatest iPad and Gizmodo’s choice for the best full-size tablet. This is the lowest price Dealzmodo has seen online for it, but if you live nearby a Micro Center you can pick one up for $460 (although you’ll have to pay tax.) More »
Mensa—the club for people who know they’re smarter than you—is offering its home test for free during the month of January. It’s an IQ test that takes 32 minutes to complete and at the end it’ll tell you whether you’re Mensa material. Although acing this test won’t get you admitted to Mensa—that test has to be taken in a controlled environment—it’s a really good approximation, and a good score would certainly be good enough to declare yourself a genius, at least to your dumb friends.

Amazon’s running a pretty cool promotion on shoes today. The code NEWYOU2013 takes $20 when you spend $100 on selected sneakers—but this is Amazon, and they’ve got a pretty great selection. Of course, there’s a lot of personal preference when it comes to footwear, but there’s probably a pair you like in there. In particular, there are a lot of running shoe options, but the promotion also covers basketball shoes and trainers. Sorry Nike heads, they’re not included, but there are some Adidas, Reebok and New Balance gems available. Sizes and colors available vary. Some favorites: More »
Today’s deal is simple. Skype, the VoIP program owned by Microsoft, is offering gift cards at 30% off. That means if you already use Skype to call phone numbers or text folks, you can purchase your credits today for significantly less than you can normally. That could end up being huge if you call overseas regularly or use the Windows Phone 8 Skype integration. Skype credit can also buy you call forwarding and time at a Skype WiFi hotspot, in addition to the SMS and calling. More »
There’s a big difference between over-ear headphones and on-ear headphones. Sure, studio-oriented cans like the Sennheiser HD 280, Audio-Technica ATH-M50, or the Sony MDR-V6 produce lovely sound, but they’re not the best option for traipsing around the city. That’s because they’re huge, heavy, and usually come with long, tangle-prone cords. To take them anywhere, you have to bring a bag along. More »
Sometimes the bargains universe is barren, and some days it is plentiful. Some days you get a confluence of several events—the end of CES, the January shopping doldrums, a mistake by a hapless Seamless copywriter—and you get a perfect storm. These are the days that Dealzmodo lives for. So let’s get on with it, shall we? More »
All technology, if you wait long enough, eventually goes on sale. Yes—all those crazy new gadgets we’re seeing at CES will eventually become cheap if you can wait a year or five. But if you can find a bargain as soon as a new model comes out, well, that’s where deals live. More »
Today’s the last day that Amazon’s offering the 2k Strategy Pack for $20. This is an amazing deal because it includes Civilization V (with all the Game of the Year downloadable content), which is still selling on Amazon, Steam, and the Mac App Store for $30. That by itself makes this a good deal. But Amazon also throws in several other cool games, like the Gods & Kings expansion, Civilization 4, and the Stronghold Collection by Firefly Studios. All of the games activate on Steam, and Civilization 4 and Civilization 5 even work on Mac. More »
The Roku 2 XS is the top-of-the-line Roku and it can pipe Netflix, Amazon Prime Streaming, Hulu Plus, and Plex (oh, sweet Plex) to your TV with exceeding ease, in addition to hundreds of other weird channels you definitely can’t get on an Apple TV. A new Roku XS usually costs $90, and back in December we featured a new Roku XS for $75, which was a really hot deal. But today you can get a refurbished one for $55 shipped— that’s nearly 40% off and it’s a simply excellent deal. [1 Sale a Day] More »
