It's like that in most of the Valley. You have (a) early adopters who jumped on the iPhone train in 2007 and can't get off due to lock-in (apps, familiarity), (b) high percentage of Mac users creating a halo effect, and (c) hero-worship of Steve Jobs/Apple. This combines to make the percentage of Android users in the Valley much lower than in the general population.
