Apple today released , which supports videoconferencing with the new AOL Instant Messenger 5.5 for Windows: "This means you now have immediate access to the millions of people in both the Mac and PC communities." It requires Mac OS X 10.3 or later (and a FireWire-based video camera and 600MHz Mac for video).

another reboot...
HOT DAMN!!!!
Are just voice chats also supported for those of us without cameras?
video is supported too
this and the bluetooth headset support are real milestones! Very exciting. Hopefully the AIM version supports similar features, such as voice-only over low bandwidth, as well as ability indicators, like the showing of the audio/video symbols dynamically in iChat. Now, most needed feature for iChat IMHO is multi-person support!! (using Quartz Extreme of course so added users beautifully push quadrants on-the-fly!)
and the largest installed base of OS X users (Jaguar) are once again left out in the cold.
Even MS doesn't do that!
and I bet the final version will cost another $30
If only Apple would add the features AIM 5.5 has. I'd LOVE to be able to be signed in using all my AIM/.Mac names at the same time.
AGAIN with the 10.3 requirements. Thanks for nothing, Apple.
