I'm substitute at gmail dot com on that service. I have a Mac so IM only for me, no voice. Add me if you're interested.

I'm hoping it will be a good alternative to AIM. I can't stand MSN or Yahoo! messenger, and it would be nice to have a credible service to use when I don't want to deal with AOL.

Is jabber support in os x tiger only?

Not sure; anyway, as far as OSX multi-protocol clients go, Adium handles Jabber, and is generally quite good.

In iChat it's only in Tiger I think. If you use Adium or one of many other free clients there's no prob

Yes. As far as I know, Apple never bothers backporting new features and Jabber support was added in the big 10.4 upgrade.
