Apple iPhone Instant Messaging Patent. Mobile iChat?

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008 | Apple with

While most iPhone users are happy with their (personal) email setup, wouldn’t it be nice to have a native mobile iChat? Sure, Apple demonstrated an AIM client with their SDK but this patented IM client has a predictive text that proposes several choices as you type, potentially shortening the number of strokes needed to type a phrase.

The good news is that it is “choices” - not an auto-replace. This means that the phone is not trying to be smarter that you are, it just tries to help.
