Fair point -- the word "effective" in all cases is being used in the sense
of "actual," but that's a strained usage in the case of mobile devices,
especially when you're distinguishing between "working" which means "minus
everything the OS takes away on a (nearly) permanent basis" and "effective
working" which means "minus everything the OS is taking away right this
moment." For that use case "available" seems much more descriptive.
