the status_type of "mobile_status_update" is refereed to, but not defined (as far as I can see) in the developer instructions for the facebook graph api [ ]
Does this just refer to a post that you have made to your own wall? (feels and odd variable name, but this is what it seems to correspond to)

Facebook appear to have used this for backward compatibility. All status updates that don't include images, videos, notes, etc are of the type "mobile_status_update" - The word "mobile" is the confusing part.
There's a recent discussion on this in the developer bug report section of Facebook.com
