Google Chat Status - "Available" vs. "blank"
I'm sort of new to the little quirks of google chat. But one question remains for me. Say if I and a friend are on our DROID's using google chat. I periodically see their online status go from "Available" to "blank". All the meanwhile the light will stay green.
Then when that person IM's me, at some point, their light still shows green, but their status is still blank. When we're done chatting, a few minutes later, the status shows "Available" again.
So guess what I'm try to ask is, possibly when the status goes blank but the light stays green, does that mean the person is active on Google Chat with someone else? Or just active on their phone in general? Like talking, browsing or messaging instead?
