Black Friday 2010 deals roundup: ultimate mega edition (updated regularly)
Hey guys, did you hear that the day after Thanksgiving everybody gets up at the crack of dawn to go stand in line at big box retailers so they can get the cheapest deals in town? Yes, it's called Black Friday , and like it or not, it's one of the greatest things about living in the United States of America, where making a competitive sport out of purchasing Christmas gifts for your loved ones is only better in reality than it would be on reality television (producers, you know where to find us).

LG Apex with Android and QWERTY hitting US Cellular this week for $80, Optimus U in December
Between the Desire , the Mesmerize , and the Galaxy Tab , US Cellular's already made it clear that they're pretty committed to Android , and the latest evidence of that comes this week in the form of the LG Apex. The QWERTY slider features a 3.2-inch display, 3 megapixel autofocus camera with flash, and Android 2.1 -- hopefully with a Froyo or Gingerbread upgrade in the works -- for $79.99, launching this Friday in US Cellular stores. Kind of looks a little bit like a keyboard-equipped version of the Optimus One , doesn't it?
