iChat on iPhone (Web app)
iPhoneChat allows you to log into your iChat/AIM instant messaging account with buddy list support.
Use your mouse to flick (drag and release) your buddy list up and down like you're supposed to on the iPhone. Click a buddy to start a conversation. You can open multiple conversations... flick left/right to change conversations.
As an early version, it has some limitations, but does offer an good example of what might be possible with iPhone web-apps.

Looks like a great way to get your account password stolen.
Exactly. This app should be opensourced so you can throw it on your own server somewhere so that you'd be sure it wasn't being logged or that your account info wasn't being "backed up" for you.

does anyone have an idea why Apple would want to leave this service off their phone?
It's a bit of a battery drain... at least it is on the Treo - to run an AIM chat application.

What would really make this AJAX model more acceptable:
1. Add a "Widgets" area on the iPhone. Let application bookmarks appear as iPhone icons. Open Safari in a full screen mode so the apps run more seamlessly.
2. Offer an easy way to "install" applications to a .Mac account - let it host Ruby on Rails or WebObjects based applications. Then you could install things like this and be assured of security.
