IRC on iPhone

Gear Live has a nice tutorial for getting IRC up on the iPhone. You'll need Colloquy, this plugin, and about 10 seconds to spend with Terminal. Once you're done with setup, launch (or relaunch) Colloquy and point your iPhone's browser to http://YourIP:6667. Visual learners may want to check out the walk-through gallery.

Enter the password you set up in the previous step and you're all set! The UI is clean and readable. I've tried it and it worked great.

This is pretty nice. Looks a lot like the iPhone standard interface.

I guess this would probably affect IRC as much as mIRC did at the end of the nineties. Can we expect millions of new IRC ppl within a year?

Meebo doesn't handle IRC, at least not that I can tell.

It's Internet Relay Chat. It used to be the best way to text-chat on computers, and it got me through college. Woot!

It's an old-school (but still relevant) chat room system ;)
