Four-ish sentences about Apple's HomePod. It's The Daily Crunch.

THE DAILY CRUNCH
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6 2018 By Anthony Ha

Apple's HomePod is good, tablet sales are down and some thoughts about the crypto crash. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for February 6, 2018.

1. A four-sentence HomePod review (with appendices)

Warning: This review is actually much longer than four sentences. But the big takeaway, according to my boss Matthew Panzarino, is that the HomePod is "easily the best sounding mainstream smart speaker ever."

One important caveat, albeit one that you're probably aware of already, is that you're gonna need Apple Music.

2. Apple continues to dominate the tablet market as sales decline once again

Seems like a classic good news-bad news scenario.

3. Watch SpaceX launch its Falcon Heavy rocket for the first time here

This is why Darrell didn't write the newsletter today. The launch is set for 1:30 PM EST (10:30 AM PST), with a window that spans two and a half hours and closes at 4 PM EST.

4. Where do we go now?

The crypto crash is reverberating through the Internet while the "rest" of the economy – namely the stock market – enters free fall. Everything is bad!

5. Houzz acquires IvyMark

IvyMark offers a set of business management tools and a community platform for interior designers and home design firms. Sources tell us Houzz is paying between $30 million and $40 million for the startup.

6. Mirror raises $13 million for virtual fitness classes

Mirror is debuting an at-home device that looks like a mirror, but also lets you see the instructor and classmates for fitness routines like barre, yoga, boxing and Pilates. Apparently there are also key metrics that measure your performance on screen.

7. SocialRank's new product helps marketers understand why tweets go viral

I've never had a viral tweet. Maybe one day.
