What is the little Droid notification supposed to be?

[shortylickens]

Recognize all the others. Calendar. Voicemail. USB connect. Dont know what the little droid dude is.
Been digging around the inner tubes and cant find any mention of it. Found plenty of other icons I hardly ever see, like Google Voice.

More specifically, it's 2.2's USB Debugging icon. 2.1 and lower is just a triangle, IIRC.

yep

2.2 made a mess out of USB. You have to pull down the notification bar, press "enable USB" not "USB debugging". Then the little Android guy comes on and you have to select "enable USB" again.

The little bug thing just lets you know that debugging is connected. Debugging is needed for some apps and connecting ADB. Disable it if you aren't a rooter.
