Google is winding down summer by discounting a bunch of great apps in the Google Play Store. If you head to the store now, you’ll find hit titles such as Rockstar’s Max Payne on sale for $.99 (67% off). They haven’t dedicated a section for the sale just yet, but if you search for “End of Summer Sale,” you’ll get a list of results. Some other great apps on sale include:

If you’re in the market for design work, you might want to give 99 Designs a look. This design crowd-sourcing site allows you to hold a “contest” where pools of designers compete for your business. Whether you’re looking for a new product logo or a mobile app design, you’ll find hundreds of eager designers ready to do the job. All you have to do is offer up the prize money and choose a winner.

If you’re a Kickstarter fanatic, then you’ll recognize the recently funded NKMOS Universal Car Mount. When you think of a universal car mount, it usually involves some cheap plastic, an unappealing design, and a suction cup system that can barely hold itself up. NKMOS goes beyond our general perceptions, redefining the universal car mount and raising the bar for future designs.

If you’ve been thinking about picking up an ASUS Transformer Pad TF300, then you’re going to want to check out the deal Sears is currently offering. Anyone who purchases the ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 now until September 1st, will get the keyboard dock at no extra charge. That’s a fantastic deal, especially considering the keyboard dock usually goes for $150.

There’s plenty of deals going around today, some better than others, but all have to do with Android hardware. For starters, there’s about 7 hours left to pick up a 32GB Motorola XOOM 3G from Daily Steals.

While the Motorola XOOM might be considered the grandpa of Android tablets, it still has a bit of life to it, that is assuming Jelly Bean makes its way to the 3G version. We wouldn’t call it a steal, more of “something to consider.”
