It had to happen sooner or later, I’m bringing you more insane news about the Apple iPhone. This news is a little different though, and might bring a smile to the face of anyone who has been trying to get their hands on the new iPhone in the past weeks.

For some reason, Amazon.com has the new phone listed on their site, despite not actually being one of the 2 distribution partners of the phone, or actually having any in stock. It could have been an overenthusiastic developer, or just a way to get even more traffic to their site.

There were already some rumors out there of Apple adding multiple resellers over time (including Radio Shack), so perhaps this is a sign that something will change when Apple is finally able to produce enough of them to go around.

My deal of the day today is for the Asus Eee 900.

The version on sale is the 900 20G, which means you get a 900MHz Intel chip, 8.9" display, Linux pre-loaded, 20GB SSD (spanned between 2 drives), 1GB ram, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, webcam, card reader and several USB Ports.

As always with Asus, this machine has already been replaced by the upcoming Eee 901 which comes with an Intel Atom chip, but costs $200 more.

These machines come with all the required Windows drivers in the box, so if you manage to find XP you’ll be able to replace the Linux OS.

The $100 rebate is valid till the end of the month and can be found here. The machine is currently in stock and ready to ship.

Perfect timing from Amazon (and AT&T), right before the 3G iPhone launches they are working hard to sell their current stock of smartphones.

There are some amazing deals here, including the tilt for just $80 (after a $100 rebate). Other deals include the Blackberry Curve for -$75 (yes, MINUS $75!) and the Blackjack II for -$49.99.

If the iPhone isn’t your thing, then there is bound to be at least one smartphone that’ll fit your needs.

If you search for "Netflix" on Amazon (I wanted to see whether they carry the Roku Netflix player), you’ll find a surprising result in the number 2 spot; The ultimate rip off. Perhaps Amazon and Netflix are not best friends forever?

My nifty Amazon price drop tracker just popped up and alerted me to a $40 price drop on the Kindle. Not only did they shave a bit off the price, they are also shipping them for free with 2 day delivery.

Great news for first adopters of the Amazon Kindle! You just lost $40. Unless of course you purchased one in the past 30 days, in which case Amazon will gladly refund the price drop.

It’s either a sign of customer service, or desperation, but Jeff Bezos himself has posted another of his letters to the main page of Amazon reminding you that you can order his revolutionary Kindle.

It’s taken them 5 months to get production up to speed but they are finally at the stage where you can order, and actually get one the next day, instead of having to wait 7 weeks.

Now, why can’t Nintendo mange the same with thier Wii?

Basically everything except the iPhone is on sale today only for a penny. Two year contract, etc. required. Some of them have rebates, so the price may end up a credit to you after rebate, though others require a rebate to get to the penny price. Grab a Blackberry or a Tilt or some other cool new toy for your travels, but do it today.

Happy Shopping!

I’m not sure whether it’s just a smart PR move, or if sales of the Kindle really are exceeding all their expectations. But it’s been close to six months since they first started selling the Kindle, and it’s still on a 6 week backorder. I’m actually quite grateful for this, because it meant I was able to sell my Kindle on Ebay for $120 more than I paid for it. Supply and demand is a great thing, if you are on the supply side of things.
