AIM’s mobile device support is teh suck:
Your IM has been sent to my mobile device. When I receive it, I will be able to reply. Thanks for your IM! Want your IMs forwarded to your phone? Click here
I now have a handful of people on my buddy list who are visible but aren’t actually online, and neither Proteus nor iChat have any way of telling me they are on the phone.
If this is you, turn off AIM on your phone. It’s not doing anybody any good.
yeah, this totally needs to be sorted out. I think it”s all under the general heading “mobile presence”

dude, this is iChat and Proteus’ issue. Aim will show you that someone is on their “phone”
