This week Today @ PCWorld blogger Ian Paul spent some serious deal-hunting time and came up with great bargains on tablets, laptops, and PCs (one of which I feature this week). I figured I'd try to top him, and I found great deals on fun consumer products for the holidays--a Roku media streamer for $45 and a great little Canon snapshooter for $110. Enjoy! --Kim Saccio-Kent, PCWorld Newsletter Editor New Low: Toshiba Thrive 10.1-Inch 8GB Android Tablet, $300 Toshiba's 10.1-inch Thrive tablet runs on Android 3.1 (Honeycomb), and it's packed with ports, including a SecureDigital Card slot, plus Mini-USB, USB, and HDMI (read our review for more specs). The price has been dropping on this tablet, and the 8GB model usually sells for $360-$380, but Best Buy is selling the Thrive for $300 with free shipping. Read PCWorld's review.

The media streamer normally costs about $60, but Roku has it on sale for only $45, plus free shipping. Use coupon code mPkgError1 at Roku's checkout to get the deal. But watch out--Roku tries to add on extra-cost accessories. Make sure to click the tiny "no thanks" link at the bottom of the checkout page before proceeding. Read PCWorld's review.

Canon's PowerShot Elph 100 HS has 12-megapixel resolution and a 4X optical zoom with stabilization--and it cost $200 when it launched earlier this year. Right now Amazon.com is selling the PowerShot Elph 100 HS in gray for only $110, with free shipping. (The other colors are marked down as well, just not as dramatically.) Read PCWorld's report.

It's given away for free, in the hope that users will donate to support the application or a cause the developer wishes to bolster. Part II covers the lesser-known gems. For well-known software and some great reasons to donate, read "Part 1."
