iChat???

I haven't seen anything about this mentioned, but is this phone going to have ichat? I keep hearing how it is Mac OS X, but nothing mentioned about iChat. That would suck if there is no IM client for this. Wouldn't surprise me, considering Cingular would rather you use SMS and charge you, as opposed to using your data connection to send an IM.

Yeah it has a Text Widget that is threaded. Just like the desktop version called iChat.

Isn't that SMS?

Yeh, that is what we are talking about, right? The poster asked about an IM app for SMS.

I haven't heard anything about iChat on the iPhone, but AOL has an AIM native app coming out for the iPhone, so I guess that is the closest for now. I wonder if Apple is intentionally leaving it out because of their partnership with AT&T (at&t might want ppl to use SMS instead of IMs... who knows).
