Valentine's Day Sales Rise Dramatically.

Valentine's Day gift-givers have spent an average of $105 on gifts to date, 40 percent more than they spent by this time last year, finds a new survey.

Unity Marketing's latest Gift Tracker study finds 15 percent of shoppers have already made their Valentine's Day purchases, and about 54 percent of shoppers still plan to make a Valentine's Day purchase.

Last year, about 60 percent of consumers bought Valentine's Day gifts, making it the third most-popular gifting holiday after Christmas and Mother's Day. About 30 percent of shoppers will purchase Valentine's Day decorations this year, according to the Gift Tracker study.

The study finds that consumers spent an average of $1,935 on gifts in 2005, with 61 percent going to holiday gifts and 39 percent going toward occasion gifts (birthdays, graduation, etc.) However, they spent about 6 percent less in 2005 on gifts than in 2004.

Good job. ngvutnih

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Thanks for the submit. Keep the great get the job done.
