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.
Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.

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

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

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

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?

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