Can I set up Jabber on ipod Messages app?

My guess is that this is not possible, but here's my situation:


I work at a manufacturing plant where I want to communicate via chats between computers in the office and ipods out in the warehouse. I have an ipod that I want to set up for this "work setting." I know I could create an AppleID and use the iMessages to communicate between the ipod and computers. However, if we set up iMessages... then chats could come from everywhere - and I'd love to keep the chats "all business" if you know what I mean. We have a server where we currently use Jabber to send chats between computers. Is it possible on an ipod to only use jabber over the Messages App without setting up an AppleID?


Thanks for any help or insight.

HI,


This would not be possible with the Messages app on the iOS devices.


However there may be Jabber applications that may work on the iOS devices.
