can you use ichat with facetime

FaceTime is available for Macs.

Facetime is an app available for iPad/iPod or your Laptop & Desktop! Enjoy chats

Hi,

Face Time uses Phone Numbers or Apple IDs registered with Face Time to make contact

iChat uses AIM Names (Those valid with AIM) or Jabber name (including GoogleMail IDs) to make contact (Basically Names registered with Certain IM servers)

iChat cannot contact the Face Time servers so Face Time names cannot be added to any iChat Buddy List.

NOTES.

A MobileMe name ending in @me.com has several functions:-

Obviously it is a working e-mail.

It is an Apple ID (iTunes, Logging in to Communities (once you set up an Alias), On Line Store, MacApp store and Face Time (if Linked)

It is a valid AIM Screen Name (If the password is 16 characters or less).

@Mac.com names have similar Functions less the e-mail part.

Other Apple IDs created from using an external to Apple e-mail address are not Valid AIM Names. Well at least not by just being Apple IDs (you can link an E-mail to a AIM Name registration or use the e-mail itself as a separate action).

might be correct but this is obviously intended. Everything chatty is using /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IMCore.framework/imagent.app down in the machine room and guess what /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IMCore.framework/imagent.app/Contents/PlugIns /FaceTime.imservice might provide to an application that knows how to use it.

noses.
