"Missing Droid X Real-World Give-Away" Contest (1st Post:Updated)

It's hooked up to a screen, which ties in with many of the previous hints. Seems fairly obvious at this point.

HDMI State of Mind.
Or connect in HDMI.
The next time someone tells you, "hey, look at that," you better look.
The enhanced vision of Droid X would be the perfect tool to help you find one.

But still....do you guys remeber when one of its original post was that they had 1ghz snapdragon processor? that tweet was later deleted....so they could have easily deleted the #12 retweet....but why didnt they?

Because it wasn't false information, so there was no point, maybe?

Well, it's not misinformation for which the lazy intern may get his head removed with a cell phone charger cable. So it could actually mean that those random clues are just publicity rather than actual clues. Or it could mean exactly the opposite. :confused:

This is the second large forums with people on the hunt. After reading a bit, I decided to register. And it seems I'm not the only Chicago hunter. I guess that means I'll have up my game in the case of one in this city.

Where is the other? Get us some more inside info!

I don't want to seem pessimistic, but I don't think we can take anything from these clues other than general location > state > city at this point.

Or the twitter posts are cleverly disguised genius and we do need Tom Hanks ala DaVinci Code to decipher them.:p

I thought so as well, but we do have about the same "Seemingly uses" information that has nothing to do with a location.

I would say these clues would add up to being useful once the location is found, so not so useless later on.

Yeah, I have thought about that too. I really think it's just filler, but who knows.

I wish just one Droid was found (not #5!) and the person would tell us where/how (s)he found it and maybe it'll start making a little more sense.
 
Begin All-Things-#12:

"Droid X designate #12 has been spotted in the heartland. Sending out amber waves of hdmi."
- So the heartland is America's midwest region. "Amber waves of hdmi" seem to refer to the song, America the Beautiful. The word "grain" has been replaced by a lowercase "hdmi."

"Droid X designate #12 has found its robot eye in the Buckeye state."
- The Buckeye State is obviously Ohio. And it says that it has found its "robot eye." This suggests that we're looking for something round, possibly light-emitting, and possibly creepy-looking. It could also refer to the company that made the lens for the phone (not sure who that is).

"Droid X designate #12 rocks. With its 1Ghz processing power, it has no choice." x2
- It rocks. That's cool. This could point to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Hard Rock Cafe, etc. The fact that it was posted twice could indicate that it's between the Hard Rock Cafe and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This could also indicate that the poster is an idiot. It states that it "has no choice," and I am not quite sure what that means.

Haha, unfortunately I don't get a lot of daylight to go looking, so you'll probably have the best chance. I was actually checking out a few places Friday but the weather didn't agree with my plans.

Okay. Just thought I'd give everyone an update.

First, I and my wife had a good time in Cleveland today. I've never been to Ohio. So, it was some good fun. We visited the Hard Rock Cafe, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and the Great Lakes Science Center right next door.

A detailed search revealed no phone. #12 is still out there somewhere. I felt like I was close, but I found nothing. It was especially convincing when I saw the lighthouse lens - amber waves indeed!!! I'm more and more convinced this is hidden outside in an environment safe location.

I did notice one light poll outside behind the SC with an exposed base and missing light. I got down on my hands and used a flashlight; no phone. The spider webs show this spot was not touched in some time. So, the phone was never there.

Keep searching this area if you're around. I'm convinced its there. Fortunately they've posted a clue about the Midwest for another X. I'm hoping it'll be closer to my hometown in IA and probably wont be back to CLE. Anyway, thanks to Cleveland for the good time and best of luck to everyone hunting for #12. Hopefully you'll get another clue for this one.

PS... I've missed out on the conversation today, but the latest clue for #17 puts it almost solidly in Metropolis, IL.
