A chat app that basically only lets you interact with Apple customers is kind of comical. – would be. Thankfully you probably know people with AIM, XMPP, or SMS chat identities. And iChat works with those too.

From the official Apple pages: Messages supports iMessage and instant messaging services such as AIM, Jabber, Google Talk, and Yahoo! Messenger.

It would be great if they brought those other protocols to the iOS Messages app as well

What I would really like is if Google Voice could integrate with Messages so all my SMS needs could be taken care of.
