While whatching Cyborg 009 today a question hit me, whats the difference between an android and a cyborg? So, I set out on a quest to an online dictionary and this is what I found....

(definitions from Dictionary.com, I got rid of most of the other junk, like how to pronouce the word)

Cyborg
n. A human who has certain physiological processes aided or controlled by mechanical or electronic devices. [cyb(ernetic) + org(anism).]

Android
n. A machine or automaton in the form of a human being.

Well this proves that the cyborgs from Cyborg 009 are infact cyborgs, wich was what I thought, but does this mean that the androids from Dragonball Z are cyborgs because Krillin had said that they were originally human and that was how he had a child with Android 18 but then she would have to be a cyborg. just thought I would point that out.not that anyone cares. ...On a completely different note did anyone notice that when Tom sais something like "Cyborg 009 is almost up Yu Yu's comming up next" they show Yu Yu animation but in the backround they play Kenshin audio.

I know, I know I got to much free time but i had to point this out I doubt I'll even get a response but I had to do it.

Cyborg starts out human. Android starts out machine. Anything else added in or taken out afterwards doesn't change it.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed that. Kuwabara sounding like Kenshin is just hilarious!

In Dragonball Z, #17 and #18 started out as humans and they're referred to as androids.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, Dr. Gero (#20) as well. Forgot to add that.

Android fits the lip flap better. Yes, they are cyborgs, they're just not called that. And the first batch (which were robotic through and through) were androids, so that might also be a factor in thier misnaming.
