Someone pointed out he already worked in a company making robots for three years. Well, maybe that's even why Android is called "Android".

    I wonder if that was a Star Trek reference

          Pretty sure it's because Andy = Android...

          That's exactly as tenuous as thinking "Robby" must be a reference to Doctor Who, which featured a bunch of robots named the Daleks.

      I thought its a Blade Runner reference because Google's reference phones are called Nexus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replicant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replicant
