The new feature in gmail labs called Green Robot has been released that shows you a “robot icon” next to people who are currently using Android phones for Gmail chat. The main benefit that these icons provide is that you can tailor your chat messages according to the type of device the chat friend is using.

When your chat buddies log into Gmail, their presence icons will revert to the traditional red, green, and orange status bubbles. And in case if your friend is logged in through both Android and gmail then the traditional status icons will be displayed.

This feature might not be approved by everyone as it can cause some privacy issues as you can easily know which user is using Android phone for chatting.
