Hey I just figured out where the name "Android" came from!

An Android is a copy of a human, only not quite as good as a human.

That is a very fitting name for a platform which is 100% derivative... and not quite as good.

Gotta admit, calling it Android is very truthful! "ItsAPoorCopyThatWeHaveToGiveAway" would have been nearer the mark, but ya can't have everything....
