Newegg.com has the Ridata 100 pack of DVD+R media for $21.99 with free shipping. That's less than 22 cents per disc. Better yet, look for the combo deal on this page which will give you a DVD storage wallet for free as well.

Back at Buy.com, it's the D-Link 7DBI Omnidirectional Antenna for $14.99 after a $20 mail-in rebate. That's a buck more than a February mention, but the lowest price we could find. This antenna connects to many 802.11G routers and will increase your wireless range. Check your router to see if it is compatible with this antenna. Rebate ends June 30.

LetsTalk.com offers the popular Motorola Q cell phone for free after Sprint activation with certain plans. The Q is a CDMA phone that runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 so it is compatible with Mobile Speak Smartphone. It includes Bluetooth connectivity, QWERTY keyboard, stereo speakers and MiniSD memory slot and 240 minutes of talk time. Note: One of the rebates is only valid if signing up for a Sprint data plan with your service. But even if you just sign up for a voice plan, the phone will only cost $100. Coupled with the purchase of an accessible software package, this is a very inexpensive way to get a functional talking smartphone.

An Ebay seller has listed a hardly used Humanware Pocketviewer portable magnifier with a starting bid of $80, or buy it now for $130. It magnifies items up to 7X and includes a rechargeable battery.

Buy.com has the Creative Live! IM Pro Video Webcam for $2.99 after a $40 mail-in rebate. Plus, shipping is free. This unit will send up to 30 frames per second of video to whoever is looking. Just because you can't see doesn't mean that someone else doesn't want to see you. Then again, maybe they don't. Deal ends May 20.

Buy.com has the Dane-Elec 4GB Compact Flash Card for $29.95 with free shipping. That's one of the best deals we've seen for a card of this capacity. These cards work in many of today's PDA's and notetakers, though some older models may not support a card of this size. Check with your manufacturer if you are unsure. Deal ends May 20.

An Ebay seller has listed a Jordy All-in-one Headmount Magnifier with a current bid of $251 plus around $23 for shipping. This unit is a stand-alone magnification system ideal for reading signs, arrival/departure information, menus, and according to the seller, seeing deer. A working battery is also included. Auction ends May 15.

Here's an odd one. An Ebay seller has listed a Tieman MiniBraille Terminal with an opening bid of $7.50. We're not totally sure, but this appears to be a 20-cell unit that connects via a serial port and formerly made or distributed by HumanWare. We're not sure of screen reader support, but at least a Linux braille output program supports it. The item, of course, is being sold as is but may be worth a gamble for that price. Auction ends May 20.

Buy.com has the Kingston 4GB DataTraveler USB 2.0 Flash Drive for $24.95 after a $14 mail-in rebate. That's one of the best deals we've seen for a flash drive of this capacity. Deal ends May 20.

Onsale.com has the Olympus DS-40 Digital Voice Recorder for $142.99. With about $6 for shipping, that's over $50 off retail and the lowest price we've seen by about $3. This is the 512MB version of their new line of accessible voice recorders.

Amazon.com has the Wenger Swiss Army Maxxum Notebook Backpack in red for $44.21. With free shipping, we couldn't find this for less elsewhere. It holds laptops up to 15 inches wide and has padded straps, two handles, and several additional pouches.

An Ebay seller has listed a recent Voice Note with computer keyboard and the latest version of Sendero GPS 3.5 with an opening bid of $699. This package would sell for about $3,800 brand new. The unit was purchased a year ago and has at least Keysoft 7. We believe the GPS to be transferrable to another unit as well, meaning that you could bid on this for the GPS package alone and still pay less than retail. You can BuyItNow for $1,250, but this option will go away as soon as one bid is placed. Auction ends May 17. Update: This item has been sold.

The retail price of the Kurzweil National Federation of the Blind KNFB Reader has plummited to $2,595. That's $900 off the former list price.

While some have updated the price on their website, others still list the old price, so call ahead to verify the new price before ordering.
