Morning Deals Round Up
• Today's Woot! is the Infocus Screenplay 4805 DLP Home Theater Projector for $805. A decent, but far from spectacular price. For a few hundred more, you could move into the 720p native displays and be set for HD content for the next few years.
• eBags, which normally has pretty okay prices to begin with, is having a site-wide 20%-off sale.
• And of course, the Amazon Friday Sale. Our suggestion? The heretofore unknown Komachi Tomato Knife.
• The Apple Store has the Sony HDR-FX1 HD camcorder on sale for $2k—normally they are near $3k. Now, we're betting that this discount will be replicated elsewhere soon, as these first-generation HD cameras are displaced by newer, 1080p-capable models (if you don't know what that meant, you don't care), but it's still a great price for a very nice camera.

I picked up an eBags Downloader laptop backpack last year and am really pleased with it. The shipping wasn't fantastic-- it showed up in a giant Tyvek envelope that had sustained some UPS damage-- but the bag was unharmed and has performed perfectly. Bonus points: it's got the Crumpler-style bright orange interior lining, which makes it a lot easier to find things, without the Crumpler price tag (I got mine for $40).
