I just wish meta contacts would actually work for users on exchange servers. Meta chats is pointless otherwise.

Does the Exchange Workaround setting not work for you? (disclaimer: I don't use meta contacts)

Nope. All contacts lose their meta contact settings after the iPhones syncs the contacts. Sometimes it will work for a little while but eventually, the metacontacts are lost. The setting doesn't seem to have any affect.

Meta contacts allow you to set up a single user profile (say, 'Dad') with multiple screen names from multiple protocols, so you will have one entry for a person even if they have four screen names on four different protocols.

I would assume that a meta chat would, similarly, provide a single conversation for an individual, regardless of what service you are using to talk to them. So you could start a conversation in AIM and continue it in Google Talk but it would work as a single sustained chat.

I haven't had the need for metachats, all my contacts favor using just one service. Group chats will be an awesome feature though.

This update was not what I was looking for

I guess I was looking for Chat rooms, does anybody know if something like this would be release? Palringo does this..so why doesn't beejive?
