Code Hints That iChat May Be Coming to iOS

Code found in the latest iPhone firmware by developer John Heaton hints that iChat may be coming to iOS, according to TUAW.

Developer John Heaton found some code in the latest version of iOS that hints iChat functionality could finally be coming to the mobile operating system. The code mentions various chat services like Jabber and AIM, and while it doesn't specifically mention iChat, there's certainly some strings in there that aren't yet included in any of Apple's standard apps.


Interestingly, a report back in September revealed that Apple may also be looking to integrate iMessage into the desktop version of iChat.
