I think he was talking about iChat. I just saw him on CNBC talking about apple conversation, and I was like WTF??? But after he started talking about it, I realized it was just iChat.
They refer to Conversation as a product. Either it's a new piece of hardware (unlikely) or some iChat makeover for the iPhone/iPod Touch.
I think he just said it's the next wave of instant messaging. He said he walked in on his daughter video chatting with a friend and thought it was cool.
I know!!!
I read about his comments just now and had the same reaction (WTF????)
So I did some digging, and found the following relevant links:
Not sure whether Jimbo's got his facts straight or what. I can't see why Apple would either resurrect a name they've used in the past for a new application/product, especially when iChat is well known, and Nokia is currently using the same name (and Apple does not need anymore name duplication problems right now).
What does everyone else think?

- Apple used to make an IRC client called Conversation
- Nokia makes an application called Conversation for their Symbian-based phones
