In Pidgin and most other clients for instant messaging I've used, when my contact is logged in from a mobile phone, the client shows an icon by their name so I can differentiate between these buddies that are online from a phone and buddies that are online from a computer. Does Empathy have this feature?

This is a known bug in Empathy and is currently being worked on.

So Empathy currently lacks this feature but it will likely show up in the next version of Ubuntu (10.10).

  • The bug has been fixed. In 12.04 you can see the icon by the contact's names when he is logged from a mobile phone.

You can't just yet. This feature is coming, likely in 10.10, and there was a blog post asking users about how this should be presented, so if you feel like it, you can give your opinion here.
