Get 11 Mac Apps, Including VMware Fusion, for $50 or 90% Off [Deals]

Software bundles often are a great way to grab at least a couple of great, deeply discounted apps and introduce us to new ones. This one from MacUpdate Bundle is very compelling with its inclusion of useful utility and productivity apps.

Lion-friendly virtualization app VMware Fusion 4 is one of the best deals here. It alone retails for $49.99, the price of this bundle. So buying the bundle is like getting VMware Fusion plus the other 10 apps for free.

PDFpen 5, ForkLift, and Typinator are also standouts in this bundle. Here's the full list of software you'll get (with retail prices):

VMware Fusion 4 ($49.99) – Run Windows and more on your Mac without rebootingDrive Genius 3 ($99.00) – Optimize, repair, test, resize and clean up your MacPDFpen 5 ($59.95) – Edit and annotate PDFsForkLift 2.5 ($29.95) – File manager: FTP, WebDAV, S3, Bluetooth, and moreTypinator 5 ($33.00) – Text expansion solutionDesktopShelves 2 ($14.99) – Display folders as desktop shelvesSnapheal ($14.99) – Professional-quality image enhancement utilityBoom ($10.99) – Boost audio output for your entire systemPhone to Mac ($24.95) – Copy media from an iOS device to your MacStar Wars: The Force Unleashed ($29.99) – High-energy action set in the Star Wars universeWorms Special Edition ($9.99) – Classic turn-based strategy game

Total retail price if bought separately is $378. Granted, you might not buy all of these apps, but for $50, the cost of each comes to about $4.54, and if you were going to buy VMware Fusion or, say, PDFpen anyway, the bundle would be worth it. The deal is good for the next 14 days.
