Great show (as always) but one note: the original iPad and iPad Gen 2 did have mute switches. I believe the changed with the iPad Air.
One interesting thing I heard yesterday was that some businesses which are open to the public, like coffee shops, cafes, etc., are buying ‘Lures’ to attract players in off the street. Quite a clever tactic in the current climate of Pokemon hysteria 🙂
