    We have seen, how Christmas can damage your business, so no holiday apps/releases for me.

    I don't think Valentine's Day is as competitive as Christmas. The Gaming Industry is pretty much centered around November/December holiday launches and sales.

    I created an app called "Secret Admirer" and that's in review. I'm thinking it might be approved late this week or early next week. That's two full weeks of availability for Valentine's Day. That's long enough to get featured. Any later, and it might not be noticed in time.

    Is Electronic Arts going to be selling their games for 99¢ each on Valentine's Day, like in December? I doubt it.

    One thing I'm learning... many gamers might hate Valentine's Day. The reply on Touch Arcade shows that...

    Although, with the Verizon iPhone launch, there might be some competition going on the weekend prior to Valentine's Day.
