So, a summary:
* Nearly all iPhones have it, but it is disabled by default.
* No Verizon phones have it.
* The Google Nexus doesn't have it.
* Rooted / Rom'ed Androids don't have it.
* News reports only find it on one device--these seem inaccurate
* Quote from following news article: " Dutch site Tweakblogs has
readers reporting back their findings and thus far, only a single
device, the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000, returned a match for
CIQ."

* "and thus far, only a single device, the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab
GT-P1000, returned a match for CIQ"

* Class action lawsuits have been filed against T-Mobile USA, Sprint
Nextel Corp., Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc., Samsung
Telecommunications America and BlackBerry-maker Research in Motion Ltd

it.
