so would that mean the user is signing off their mobile device and on with a computer? when it turns from black to green

It likely means that their mobile device is still active, but they have signed on from a computer, so the computer signon takes priority.

Purple (Gaim) doesn't report the Hiptop device as a mobile device.

Untrue-ish. The Pidgin team has made a conscious decision to display it as a normal client, and not mobile.

So, really, there's nothing at all untrue about my statement. ;)

I personally think the decision is sound, by the way.

I think I misread it as "doesn't support." I shouldn't troll the forums when I wake up. :)
