An android, aka droid, is a human-like robot that mimics human behaviours. Two of my favourite movies, Bicentennial Man with Robin Williams and AI with Haley Joel Osment feature androids.

Android is also Google’s operating system for mobile devices. Acer is planning to use it in a low-cost lap top. There are SDKs available for Windows, Mac and Linux. You code in a mixture of Java and XML. Android is free and open source. It is primarily intended to erode Microsoft’s profit margins.
