Kicking off with "Black Friday," holiday shopping season is now firmly upon us—and there’s an app for that. The following mobile applications are tailor-made for making one of the more insane times of year a little easier, letting iPhone and iPod Touch users do everything from calculate sales tax on that Xbox 360 to determining whether they can get a better deal on Amazon.com or eBay. Many of these apps also offer budget-watching and list-keeping functionality—all the better for staying on track as the holidays rapidly approach.
As with most apps available on the Apple App Store, these are generally low-cost, ranging from free to $0.99 to $1.99, meaning you can devote more cash to the things in life that truly matter, like Modern Warfare 2.
