Peak iPad

Siegler writes about the “Astonishing, Disappointing iPad”, a reference to Wallstreet’s exaggerated expectations and a misunderstanding of the market for tablets. In my opinion, it’s clear that as a novelty product that created a market, iPad sales did extremely well for the first four years. Why is Apple not selling as much this year? Because people have a first, second, third or fourth generation iPad or iPad Air or iPad mini and iPad mini retina laying around. How many iPads do you need in one household?

A quick scan of Gmail tells me that I signed up for Tumblr on April 11, 2007. The last videogame console war had just started. There was still a format war going on between HD DVD and Blu-ray. Anyone not named Steve Jobs did not yet own an iPhone.

MG Siegler talks about his first time using Tumblr, what he's learned throughout the years using the service and why he still maintains his personal blog there. I echo many of his points and still enjoy using Tumblr for my own blog.

Special guest star MG Siegler joins John Gruber to discuss a week jam-packed with news: Phil Schiller's Android-trashing interviews; Samsung's bizarre introduction of the interesting Galaxy S4; Andy Rubin stepping aside (or, as seems more likely, being pushed aside) as Google's executive in charge of Android; and Google's decision to pull the plug in Google Reader.

About two week ago, I linked to a [great article](http://joecaiati.info/post/29087682800/sent-from-my-ipad) by Owen Williams discussing how the iPad can be used as a daily driver for you computing needs (depending on your profession). Now, MG Siegler has written a similar piece in which he states that he will use the iPad for travel exclusively and match it with a wireless keyboard if he wants to truly dive into his writing. Both pieces are worth reading in tandem and I am excited more people are realizing the iPads potential as a mobile device.
