By now you've probably heard of Eye-Fi, the Wi-Fi-enabled SD memory card that wirelessly beams photos from your camera to your PC. When it first came out last year, I thought it was overpriced at $99--but now you can scoop up an Eye-Fi Home card for just $59 shipped.

(Note: The above link takes you to CNET's product page for the Eye-Fi Home. On the right-hand side, you'll see that several vendors are offering the card for $59. To get free shipping, choose either BuyDig or Beach Camera.)

I've been testing an Eye-Fi for the last couple weeks, and it's pretty cool. The only downside is having to leave your camera on while the photos get transferred, but it definitely beats having to fish out a USB transfer cable or pop the memory card out of the camera and into a reader.

If you want a little more versatility, BuyDig has the Eye-Fi Share for $79. In addition to beaming pix to your PC, it can automatically upload them to any number of online photo services (Facebook, Flickr, Snapfish, etc.). But wait: Starting Oct. 5, owners of the Home card can get the same Web-sharing feature for an annual fee of $9.99. (Eye-Fi also plans to roll out a free firmware update that will improve transfer speeds.)

My advice: Buy the Home card now, spend the extra 10 bucks if you decide you want Web sharing, then reevaluate after a year. You'll still come out ahead.

Still holding your cell phone to your ear? How 20th century. With a Bluetooth headset, you can leave your phone in your pocket--and walk around looking as if you're talking to yourself. Car Toys has the Samsung WEP200 Bluetooth headset for just $19.99, plus a ridiculously reasonable $1.95 for UPS shipping.

The WEP200 is a couple of years old, but even by today's standards, it's impressively compact. As noted in CNET's review (and the First Look video up above), it fits comfortably in the ear and has good controls, good sound quality, and a pretty frakkin' cool carrying case that doubles as a charger.

So, to sum up, here's a solid Bluetooth headset for a fraction of its original price. I haven't tried this one myself, but the reviews are mostly positive (including this one over at PC Magazine). If anyone already owns a WEP200, hit the Comments and let your fellow 'Skaters know if it's a winner.

Update at 8:35 a.m. PDT: Alas, the player is no longer available at that price, and the sideline deal on the Samsung BDP-1500 Blu-ray player (posted earlier) appears to have disappeared from RadioShack's site.

Online clearinghouse Second Act has refurbished Sharp BD-HP20U Blu-ray players for $169.99. Ground shipping will run you about $15. According to the product page, this deal ended Sunday, so I don't know how much longer it'll be available.

Because it's a refurb, it comes with only a 30-day warranty (but at least it's from the manufacturer). Plus, CNET had a fairly lengthy list of complaints about the player, though I don't consider any of them deal-breakers. (You can read my own review of the BD-HP20U over at Wired's Gadget Lab.) This is by far the lowest price I've seen on a Blu-ray player, so if you're in the market, act fast.

It wasn't too long ago that a 4GB flash drive for under 20 bucks was worth crowing about, but now you can get an A-DATA 8GB PD9 MyFlash drive for $16.99 shipped. It's a new, retail unit with no rebates in sight.

As you might expect, this is a pretty no-frills drive. It has...get ready...an LED indicator! And it's driverless! Hey, for $16.99, don't expect the thing to be spitting out Pez.

Needless to say, with 8GB of storage, you can carry plenty of data back and forth between your home and work PCs. Of course, flash drives are good for more than just ferrying files. Check out Lifehacker's Top 10 USB Thumb Drive Tricks to learn how to boot an operating system, assemble a PC repair kit, and more. In the meantime, grab this incredibly good deal before it's too late.

Hang on, hang on, hold the phone! I thought yesterday's TomTom GO 510 GPS was a sweet deal at $124.99 (plus shipping and after rebate), but Buy.com just blew that outta the water: You can get a refurbished Magellan 4040 widescreen GPS for just $99.99 shipped, no rebates required.

If memory serves, this is the first widescreen GPS I've seen below the $100 mark. Specifically, it's a 4.3-inch touchscreen, which is way easier on the eyes than the typical 3.5-incher. The Magellan 4040 also features text-to-speech (it announces actual street names), a Bluetooth speakerphone (for hands-free calling), and integrated AAA TourBook travel information. Plus, as with the TomTom, you can add an optional traffic kit to get real-time traffic data.

Caveats? In addition to the 90-day warranty (fairly typical for a refurb), CNET's review of the Magellan 4040 notes that the unit is slow to recalculate routes, and many of the user reviews agree. Keep in mind, though, that you're paying $100, not the $500 list price of just one year ago. I'll come right out and say it: This is the best GPS deal I've found yet. (If you bought a TomTom yesterday, don't sweat it: You still got a killer deal.)

There's an embarrassment of riches inside this compact case.

The HP Pavilion s3500t is a sleek, ultracompact desktop that you can configure to your liking at Hewlett-Packard's online store. For an extremely limited time, HP is offering a $100 instant rebate on the s3500t or $400 off with coupon code DT1158. You can use the latter only when your config hits $999--but getting there is half the fun.

Starting with the base configuration, I selected Vista Home Premium 64-bit (!), the Intel E4700 processor, 4GB of RAM, the 256MB Nvidia video card with HDMI, and the Blu-ray player. To inch the total up to $999, I also added the HP 2.1 speakers with remote and HP multimedia keyboard with HP optical mouse. (Note: monitor not included.)

That, my friends, is a pretty killer load-out. I didn't even mention the 500GB hard drive that comes standard. Shipping is free, though you may have to pay sales tax.

If you're in the market for a powerful media-center PC, here's your chance to save some big bucks on a sleek, compact system. Note that you can't apply the coupon (which expires after 900 uses, so act fast!) until you get to the payment page.

This GPS sold for a whopping $700 when it debuted just a couple years ago, but now you can scoop up a refurbished TomTom GO 510 for just $124.99 (plus shipping) after a $36 mail-in rebate. Unlike most models selling in this price range, the GO 510 serves up loads of advanced features.

For example, it sports a 4-inch widescreen display--way better than the 3.5-inch square screens you find on typical discount models. It also doubles as a speakerphone by pairing with your Bluetooth-equipped cell phone. That means you can make and take calls hands-free. Plus, it has a light sensor that'll automatically dim the screen when you're driving at night.

Finally, as noted in CNET's Quick Take, the GO 510 supports TomTom's optional traffic and weather services. They're subscription-based, but at least they're available if you want them.

These refurbished units come with a 90-day manufacturer's warranty. You may want to read some of the user comments on the aforementioned Quick Take page, as many users complained about hardware failures. But because these are refurb 510s, hopefully any such issues have been fixed. As always, there's some dice-rolling involved. The rebate offer (PDF) expires September 30.

Get Dell's wee PC for just $99 when you buy a regular notebook.

Today, Dell launched the much-anticipated Inspiron Mini 9 netbook (a.k.a. mini-note, ultra-note, or whatever we're calling this category). Tomorrow, you'll be able to score one for just $99 with the purchase of a Studio 15, XPS M1530, or XPS M1330 notebook. This according to Dell's own blog.

The Mini joins teeny portables like the Asus Eee PC and Acer Aspire One in offering basic computing in an ultra-light, ultra-compact package. It's available exclusively with Windows XP or Ubuntu Linux and solid-state storage (up to 16GB). CNET hasn't done a full review yet, but gadget site Crave just posted some first impressions.

A few thoughts. First, this obviously isn't an impulse-buy deal, but if you happen to be in the market for a new notebook anyway, it's almost too good to pass up. The Mini starts at $349 (not sure which model is being offering at the $99 price point, but it's a good bet it's the 4GB Ubuntu version), while Dell's Studio line starts at $649. In theory, you can get out the door for as little as $748. Not interested in the Mini? Take it straight to eBay, where you'll probably be able to sell it for close to the list price. Or give it to the kids.

Second, I honestly don't understand the appeal of this whole netbook category. Much as I like to travel light, I don't like cramped keyboards, small screens, and slow performance. That said, for 99 bucks I'm willing to forgive all that. The Mini might be perfect for those times when I just want to do some "light" computing (pun intended).

According to the Dell blog, this deal kicks off at 6 a.m. CT Friday and runs through Tuesday. Think you'll take advantage of it? Hit the comments and tell me why or why not.

Update: Sorry, folks, but it looks like you need to start with at least the $1,048 Studio model to qualify for the $99 Mini. Sigh.

An Xbox 360 Premium for $150 is hard to beat, but it comes without a warranty.

Regular Cheapskate readers know that I love me some Xbox 360--not just because it's a killer gaming console, but also because it's a killer media center extender. In fact, I recently suggested buying an Xbox 360 Core system expressly for its extender capabilities.

But why buy a Core for $170 when you can get an Xbox 360 Premium for $150? Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' bout! There are some catches, however, so read on before you pull the trigger (or, um, click the mouse).

First catch: this is the non-HDMI Xbox 360 Premium, meaning that you'll need to use the included component video cables to make the HDTV connection. (I don't consider that a deal breaker, but some folks insist on HDMI, which is included with newer Xboxes.)

Second catch: you don't get a headset with these units (no big deal, if you're not planning to play games online).

Third catch: shipping will run you about $26, which is kinda steep.

Fourth catch (and the only one that really matters, in my mind): no warranty. The vendor, Overstock Dealz, offers a "14-day guarantee," which essentially protects you from dead-on-arrival units, but otherwise, you're on your own.

As some will undoubtedly note, the 360 has (or had, anyway) a fairly high failure rate, so buying one without a warranty is borderline idiotic. However, because these are refurbished systems, they're arguably in better shape (i.e. more failure-resistant) than new ones.
