iChat is an AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), .Mac, ICQ and XMPP client by Apple Inc. for their Mac OS X operating system. Using a Jabber-like protocol and Bonjour for user discovery, it also allows for LAN communication. iChat's AIM support is fully endorsed by AOL, and uses their official implementation of the AIM OSCAR protocol. Using a Jabber transport, iChat users may also integrate their MSN and Yahoo! contacts into the Jabber pane. You can also use iChat from your menu bar, without even starting the application. When someone sends you a message, the application will launch automaticcally.

Una herramienta sencilla que no genera mucho ruido creada con un solo objetivo, comunicar, hay muchas otras opciones pero la verdad en mac el im menos intrusivo y con más funcionalidades es ichat.
meh.. Adium's better.
iChat is probably the best IM client for the mac. It is very well integrated into the OS. Even though some features are missing, they can be easily added with a nifty plug-in called "Chax"
很不錯的 IM
Very well integrated in the Apple OS ;)
iChat is my favorite IM client, hands down. I use the Chax extensions to modify it, and it has really come a long way since it shipped with Panther (and I stuck with the original AIM client for the Mac). I started using iChat when the Intel Macs came out and the original AIM for Mac client stopped working.
I use this everyday, but I miss the support of MSN...
I cant seem to be able to download any version of iChat.
I try clicking on download button but nothing comes up.
Please, HELP!!!!
It's free. . . it works, and snow leopard makes it even better!
This is my favorite instant messenger client. Works great for AIM, Jabber, and Bonjour services, though it would be nice to have support for Yahoo! Messenger and Windows Live Messenger, but everyone I know uses either Jabber or AIM, so it's not too big of a deal. =p
I think iChat i the best IM ever
hey there i accidently deleted this ichat software . how can i download it again ?
Great with .Mac, AIM and Gtalk
Best IM ever!
If you are interested into connecting to MSN, Yahoo or Twitter with iChat, drop me a line.
