certainly, what a good comment :)

On Android I mostly "go online" because I'm using it for something else and happen to have woken up the device. Not because I'm bored and wanting to chat. Certainly when I'm waiting to tell you something cool, I'm a lot less inclined to open a chat if I see the mobile icon than normally, and I would say people don't reply as quickly. You're still in the list, you're just slightly further down in a new "group" between PC online and PC busy. 

Also, for aesthetic reasons you get everything all grouped together nicely, rather than randomly scattered icons.
