Yea, now I'm no expert, but zeroconf (Bonjour on the Mac) is used to  
advertise device names so both Mac and XO will see each other (very  
friendly), however the actual chat protocol/mechanics currently used  
by the XO are not the same as used by iChat – which is a pity but  
hopefully/maybe fixable at some point (sure I've seen some dev talk  
about this somewhere). I'm not sure if the actual chat protocol being  
used by either device is a formal standard, I hope it is, but I guess  
this particular compatibility would not be high priority other than  
for G1G1 owners who are likely to meet a Mac or two on their networks.
