Are there any upcoming Android phones for Sprint?
Q. I'm gonna switch over to Sprint in a few months, and I want to use the Android OS.
A. You are a lucky man Kevin,
Friday June 4th is when the HTC EVO 4G is released on Sprint. From everything I'm hearing it's the most powerful Smart phone coming out in the U.S>
Just off the top of my head, EVO4g 8MP camera and a 1.3 MP camera on the front for video chatting. EVO4G has the 4G network (Depending on where you live, if you don't have it now, most likely it will be there by the end of the year, we get ours in 2 weeks)
I know that the EVO 4G allows you to talk and surf the internet at the same time,
The EVO 4G has a 4.3 inch screen to use, to me that means better touch pad typing (I have big hands/fingers) and better screen to watch Video on, plus it has Flash support especially with the 2.2. update coming soon.
The EVO 4G ships with 1GB of internal memory and a 8GB card that can be expanded up to 32GB (heard that it's possible that an update will allow the phone to recognize 64GB but it hasn't been confirmed) so depending on your storage needs,
It's running Android 2.1 with HTC Sense on top of it, I believe that root has been achieved and they are working on porting 2.2 (Fro yo) to the EVO shortly. If you don't root or anything HTC has said that they will be updating The phone this year.
Processors..... EVO 4G has the 1GHZ snapdragon processor,
The EVO 4G also has HD video recording,HD-MI output, free GPS, the ability to become a hotspot for 8 devices at the speed of a home network.
New customers can get the phone for $199 after a $100 rebate. Best buy and radio shack offer instant rebates while Sprint does the mail in.
The other two phones I know about on sprint are the Samsung Hero and the Samsung Moment, they're both Android phones from last year, I think they're running Android 1.6 (they may have been updated by now but not sure. The only difference between them is that one has a hardware keyboard and one is just touchscreen

What would be the term for a person prejudiced against AI beings?
Q. I was watching Aliens and during the scene where Ripley flips out because Bishop (an Android) is on the ship I wondered what you would call somebody who is prejudiced against AI. Not just against robots or machines, but Artificial Intelligence specifically.
A. Automatonophobia
http://phobias.about.com/od/phobiaslist/a/automatonphobia.htm
This [phobia] means fear of, but you could turn it into hatred by changing the ending to an 'ist'. In which case it would be "automatonist".
There is also the Frankenstein Complex
In Isaac Asimov's robot novels, the Frankenstein Complex is a term that he coined for the fear of mechanical men. Some of Asimov's S.F. short stories and novels predict that this phobia will become strongest and most widespread when being directed against "mechanical men" that most-closely resemble human beings.
Or Androidist, as an android is a person like machine, not a 'robot' which could just be a machine which builds cars.
