 Printer friendly version for Apple iChat AV - ZDNet Reviews
In beta form, iChat's performance is spotty, but it's easier to use and configure than the video-enabled MSN Messenger 6.0 public beta and better implemented than the video chat in Yahoo Messenger (both are for Windows only).
iChat AV is a pleasure to use while it's free, but Apple plans to charge $29 for it when the current beta expires on December 31, 2003, unless you upgrade to the $129 OS X 10.3 Panther.
To install iChat AV, simply download the program (the biggest annoyance here is Apple's insistence that you provide your first and last name and e-mail address before downloading), click to install it, input your AIM or.Mac account information, and you're done.
