So no-one in the 13-18 age bracket owns anything other than iOS devices?

I'm fifteen and nearly all of the time use PGP-encrypted IM/email to communicate.

I believe kunai but agree that use of encryption in messaging is very atypical, regardless of age.

I'd say that's mostly due to outside use. If your friends don't care about encryption, you would never use it. Since I have an extremely small social circle, I can afford to use encryption because I can actually convince people to use it.

iMessage is free. It works on Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPads.

I don't know what the usage stats are like, but those factors are probably worth a lot to teenagers who either have to pay their own phone bills, or have to convince their parents to do it.
