Update (12/1 1:00pm): Here’s a similar bundle for the HERO4 Black. In addition to the camera, it includes a SanDisk 32GB micro SDHC and GoPro Headstrap for $499.99 shipped ($560 value).

It is hard to find a deal on a GoPro anywhere (OK here’s 10% off the whole line at LLBEAN using code Thanks10 at checkout) but Amazon has a(nother) great option. Amazon bundles up a $50 gift card (Great holiday gift!)  and a SanDisk 32GB SD card to fill up with holiday daredevil stunts for the retail price of $399.99 shipped.

Per Amazon, that’s a rare $65 savings and the biggest discount we’ve seen on a GoPro package.

Google is giving Ol’ St. Nicholas a run for his money this holiday season because it ALSO knows what people want for the holidays. Rather than getting mail in the North Pole however, Google gets its data via its popular search engine. In data from its Trends platform, it has determined the top trending toys, devices and apparel searches on Google Shopping. An overview from the Commerce blog:

• Game consoles and tablets continue to be the top gifts trending on Google Shopping, but wearable technology such as the “fitbit” is also on the rise this month.
• Certain retro toys are making a comeback this season. Thanks to the new movie “Ouija,” searches for “Ouija boards” are up 300% since October. And queries for “Barbie Dream House” and “My Little Pony” are up as well compared to last month. ⁶
• Cold-weather staples, such as “Hunter boots” and “Canada Goose jackets,” are among the most popular apparel searches, up 46% and 140%, respectively, since October. But “jogger pants” are the newcomer gift this season, up 39% from October. ⁷

But the most important data they pulled, especially if you are a clueless father like myself, is the top 10 Kids’ gifts list. Without further ado, in order:

1. American Girl

2. My Little Pony

3. Paw Patrol

4. Lego Friends

5. Ouija Board

6. Peppa Pig

7. Shopkins

8. Nerf Guns

9. Barbie Dream House

10. Zoomer Dino

Amazon offers the Seiki 40-inch 1080P HDTV Model SE40FY27 for $199.99 with free shipping. That’s the lowest price we’ve ever seen this model and one of the lowest prices we’ve seen on any 40-inch TV (though Walmart and others will have some for less if you want to brave the Black Friday in-store craziness).  It usually sells for $250-$260 and gets 4/5 star ratings from Amazon reviewers.

The Seiki features 3 HDMI ports and a USB port which can be used for videos/images or to power Chromecast/Firestick (pick both up with your savings!) as well as composite and COAX, VGA and AUX headphone out ports.

Sometimes it is hard to be definitive on “Best of” products. On car chargers, it now isn’t. I’ve been using the Aukey Quad-port car charger for a few weeks and it is the most powerful, most solid, has the most ports and is one of the smallest I’ve tried. It also holds up well after multiple insertions and removals and it looks as good as a car charger is going to get. It also has a chip inside that not only knows how much charge to deliver to each port, but it also knows when the charge is complete and will shut down.

We’re talking no-brainer territory here.

Even if you have USB ports in your car, they likely don’t quick charge iPhone 6s s and iPads. This one does. Up to 4 of them at a time via the 48W/9.6A total output.

Amazon is currently offering the Aukey Quad-port car charger for $16.99 with free Prime shipping. That’s 66% off!

Oh, and as sad as it is for me, I’ll send this slightly used demo unit to someone who shares gadgetnewsonline/this post on social media or signs up for our newsletter (US only).

The Raspberry Pi Foundation announced a big small upgrade to is Pi lineup today. The A+ is a sub 2.5-inch square (65mmx55mm vs. 86mm for the B+ and A) and uses less power and adds some nice improvements:

• More GPIO. The GPIO header has grown to 40 pins. The Model A+ is compatible with the HAT standard for add-on boards.
• Micro SD. The old friction-fit SD card socket has been replaced with a much nicer push-push micro SD version.
• Better audio. The audio circuit incorporates a dedicated low-noise power supply.

The big deal is the even cheaper $20 price point, $15 less than either of the previous models.

Need some inspiration of what to build? Check out some compilations, more, more…or just check the forums. My favorite? AirPlay Mirroring.

Amazon just upped the Cloud Photo storage ante with free unlimited Cloud storage for Photos for its Prime customers.  The Amazon Photo service, which has apps for iOS or Android and is native to Amazon’s Fire products including its recently announced Fire stick, will no longer be capped for Prime customers.

Introducing Prime Photos. Your cherished memories are safe in Amazon Cloud Drive and accessible anywhere you are. It’s like having a virtual album of every one of your photos that you can access at any time, no matter which device you use.

According to TechCrunch, a Mac app is in the works but for now the web uploader works as well.

Prime is Amazon’s all-in-one premium service which allows free streaming music, 500,000 free eBooks, free Netflix-like TV service, free 2 day shipping on goods and services bought at Amazon. It is $99/year but grabbing a 30-day free trial 1 month before the holiday shopping season starts isn’t a bad idea. Folks who don’t want to fork out the $99 can get a 5 GB of free storage on Amazon Cloud Drive which is the equivalent to up to 2,000 photos.

We reported last week that Apple’s new lustworthy 5K Retina 27-inch iMac was up for sale at MacMall with a small discount and tax advantages in most states. Over the weekend, many more retailers began offering the new product. Among the biggest:

• Amazon (Tax in about half the US)
• Best Buy 
• B&H Photo (tax in NY)

• Amazon
• Best Buy
• B&H Photo (Tax in NY)
• MacMall ($5 off) tax only in CA, NY, IL, WI, MN, CO, TN, NC and GA

At the moment, MacMall appears to be a best bet when buying either (And they are already shipping), but numbers fluctuate. Keep an eye on 9to5mac.com/products for the latest best prices on Apple products.

Apple released some impressive new machines today and bargain hunters can save a few bucks ($5 to be exact) at MacMall across the board. A bigger savings may be tax which MacMall only charges in the following states: CA, NY, IL, WI, MN, CO, TN, NC and GA. (savings of $200 or more on the iMac)

Other retailers like B&H, Best Buy, Adorama and Amazon have yet to update their inventory as of this writing.

Today, Best Buy knocks $50 off the price of the popular and colorful Beat Mixr headphones dropping them to $199.99 shipped.

If you are already a .edu email subscriber, the email would have come on the 31st of August.

The $99.99 price shipped is the lowest we’ve seen on these new colorful headphones by about $100 (making the non-edu price also a “best buy”).  Amazon reviews come in very high at 4.4. These are at both Amazon and the Apple store currently for $250. Refurbished can be found for $180 from Beats

How’s your Russian? Apparently Rozetked who got the iPhone 6 ahead of time got their hands on what appears to be the next GoPro4 camera out there with some nice specs in tow. 4K videographers will appreciate the 30FPS and the 120FPS on the 1080P. For still images, you’ll be able to capture 12 megapixel photos at 30 frames per second.

Audio capture is also improved, with the new system capturing 2x the dynamic range.

On the front of the camera is an ultra-wide angle glass lens, and the camera can be set to three different field-of-view settings: Ultra Wide, Medium, and Narrow.

There will be new manual settings for both photography and videography — controls such as color, ISO limit, exposure, and more.

The camera is waterproof down to 131 feet (40m). Other features include built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, exposure settings for nighttime shooting, a “HiLight Tag” feature for marking key moments in footage, a QuikCapture feature for powering up and recording with one button press, and auto low light features.

A few more versions of the new round of GoPros was profiled by Petapixel earlier this week.

If you are looking for a deal on the current version: Best Buy has $50 off the Black version to $349 and  AT&T Accessories Store will give you 25% off when you buy 3 items like the below.

AT&T has the JBL Micro Wireless Speaker in black for $10 shipped. That’s $50 off and the lowest price we’ve seen. (Make sure to select Black model).

The JBL Micro Wireless is the first ultra-portable speaker featuring a Li-ion rechargeable battery, built-in bass port, and wireless Bluetooth connection. With a 1-5/8-inch (40-millimeter) driver, it delivers full-range JBL® sound with exceptional bass – yet it fits easily in backpacks or clips onto clothing. You can wirelessly stream audio to the speaker from any Bluetooth-equipped mobile phone or tablet, or use the included audio cable to connect the speaker to any mobile device or MP3 player. You can even daisy-chain with other JBL Micro Wireless speakers for a powerful sonic experience.

Note that AT&T is offering additional savings on accessories thru their 25% off 3 accessories program which sometimes leads to lowest prices we’ve seen on products that don’t often get discounted. Note this includes products from Apple, Beats, and many more premium sellers. You can pad your order with an array of $5 iPhone cases including some for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus that are also discounted.

Yesterday, it was revealed that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus could be charged faster (in some cases as fast as 2 hours to full) using a 2.1A AC charger like the one that comes with the iPad. Curiously, Apple has only included the typical  5W 1A iPhone charger that it traditionally has with its iPhone 6 and 6 Plus meaning that your iPhone charge times coming from much smaller iPhones are going to go through the roof.

Not to worry! The gadgetnewsonline team will get you updated to 2.1A USB ports across the board with the best products/deals we could find for a wide range of 2.1A USB needs…
