Hi,


iChat comes on the Mac Install Disks (on those that have Install Disks)

With Lion and even Snow Leopard Upgrades through the App Store it is included with the other apps that come with the OS.


It does not work on iOS devices.

iOS devices have Messages for the iPhones, iPads and some Touches


There is also a Beta called Messages for the Mac OS (Computers) which can Sync the iMessages that iOS devices can send (it links an Apple ID with the Phone Number on the Phone).

This feature is in addition to the iChat 6 features that iChat had. (The Install process hides/Removes iChat)
