Never mind Terminator's "rise of the machines" threat. What section of government will control these guys? I'm more fearful of a Democrat/Republican minded Kill-Bot, making decisions based upon whatever politically correct society happens to be in control of the "button". Say what you will about the average GI's intelligence, or possible lack there of. But at least GI's share a certain affinity with their targets, being both human/mortal and all. And if that isn't there, there's at least some level accountability for their actions. But with these robot killers, an entire town or protesting group could be killed with nothing but lame finger-pointing following, and firm promises to "hold those responsible accountable for this grave injustice".
Following the commercial success (and technical disappointment) of the original Wildfire -- which featured a miserly 528MHz CPU and QVGA display -- HTC has returned with the Wildfire S.
