Evey update the blogs light up with people who get it, different regions, different purchase dates. If there was a pattern AF, Phandroid, or someone else would've figured it out by now. You've asked 12 people in LA. That's not random, nor is it representative, nor is it a large enough sample to observe a pattern. Perhaps if there were only 50 Android phones, and they were all in LA -- your research would be very useful. There are thousands of Android phones, perhaps millions, any sample that's less than a couple hundred to a thousand and covers less than 25 geographic areas in the US isn't enough to tease out a pattern.
