I'm not sure why no one else has posted this yet but I'll be the first. If you haven't had a chance to watch the WWDC 2006 from Apple many of the things you are talking about in this article covered and many new features are discussed. Head over to http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/aug_2006/event/index.html and watch the video of the features coming in Leopard next year. iChat AV is probably one of the biggest areas they have made improvements like the ones you've mentioned. Most of all you won't want to miss the "live video" playing the background of your iChat.
