I can see why you ended up using Skype, but the only time iChat fails on me is either when I have a failed internet connection or when AIM itself fails. iChat itself runs sold for me, no problems.

you, my friend, are an idiot. That's about all your video managed to prove. Thanks again for wasting my time with your showcasing of your really pathetic internet connection. Try snailmail much?

iChat fails when you're connecting to someone with Windows, but you can't.

I don't know if this question has been answered for you as of yet, but iChat doesn't cost anything at all. As long as you have any of the last 2 or 3 iLife suites that have recently released then you just click on the iChat icon and connect it to your AIM account (one time only) and you are good to go.

Skype vs FaceTime from PCMag.comby PCMagazineReviews42,459 views
The reason iChat failed so miserably in this comparison is because I was in China at the time, and apparently Apple/AOL, for whatever reason, had some problems handling users of the iChat service from there. I created this video after getting fed up with iChat failing all the time, and compared it to Skype because that was what I ended up using instead of iChat.

You can use iChat to chat with .Mac users, AIM users, Google Talk users and users of the Jabber IM protocol. If you want to use MSN, Yahoo, etc., as well, you should check out Adium, adiumx dot com.

Thanks, Kingcab00se.

I like Jabber too. I've even got my iBook set up as a Jabber server for friends I often chat with regularly online. Jabber doesn't have the A/V capabilities of iChat or Skype though, at least, not that I'm aware of.

Yep. My internet stinks. You are totally right. Unfortunately, there is not a whole lot I can do about that because of where I live. In any case, Skype continues to connect and to stay connected more reliably over my shotty internet connection than does iChat. I agree with you that the quality of A/V over Skype is worse than iChat, particularly video.

Not exactly. It's just that my internet connection is not very good. Skype works much better over my poor internet connection than iChat does.
