Will Leopard's iChat Finally Stack Up to Adium?
Preview
Screen sharing tops my list as being the most significant addition to iChat. This can be accomplished using a hodgepodge of remote desktop apps and chat clients, but the fact that Apple has it all bundled into iChat is quite significant. This means that people can now collaborate on a project, or provide each other with technical support, with the ease of clicking a button (provided both sides have Macs and a broadband connection).

The question as to whether the iPhone scratches is of particular interest, and received a fair amount of analysis.
