Gmail Robot – Hey its Android!

Sometimes a snippett speaks for itself, and this new feature letting you know which of your IM buddies is "online" using their cell phone (hence not really online, but not offline) is one of those cases:

Turn on Green Robot, a new experiment in Gmail Labs, and you'll see a robot icon next to people who are currently using Android phones. In the case below, Shirley is online with Android, Nicolle R. is using regular Gmail chat, and Chris I. is currently away but also on Android. Slatka is not an angry robot — she's online with Android but currently busy.
