With the holidays firmly in the rear view mirror, January deals are a bit sparse, but there are still a few discounts to be had on previous-generation iPads, the Retina iMac, the Retina MacBook Pro, and a handful of Apple-related accessories.
iMac
Apple's 27-inch 3.5GHz/8GB/1TB Retina iMac is available for $2,299 from Adorama, which is $200 off of the price for the same machine from Apple's online and retail stores.

Apps
Apple's free app of the week is MUJO, a match three puzzler that our sister site TouchArcade gave four stars and called "pretty fun." It's certainly worth a download. [Direct Link]
Nuance's Dragon Dictate 4.0 for Mac is available for $80 from Amazon, down from $200. Both boxed versions and digital downloads are available at that price.
Apple Accessories
Groupon is offering a refurbished Jawbone UP24 for $69.99, down from the original price of $99. Groupon is also offering the LG Bluetooth Docking Speaker with Lightning Connector for $99, down from $179.

SloMo is not free. It's actually more expensive than what you list as the regular price.
Yup, not free at all.⬇︎⬇︎
That's the second time this week A Mac blog has directed me to a "free" app that wasn't. We need a little better research here, guys
agreed
I've updated the post to remove the app. It was only free for a limited time, as I mentioned. If you look at the app in AppShopper, you guys can see that it was free when it was posted: http://appshopper.com/photography/superslo-slow-motion-camera-and-video-converter
I knew it would be up only for a limited time, but figured it was better that a few people get to download it at no cost. May reconsider this in the future, or try to be more clear about limited time deals.
Apple doesn't have a standard price, only MSRP.
