... and another iPhone / Jabber reference:

http://samj.net/2008/07/apple-iphone-20-real-story-behind-push.html 
Jabber ... is actually being used for delivering push mail notifications
to the iPhone.

So it looks like Jabber is native in the new iPhone, but not in a way
that can be used by IM clients.

Found the iPhone/Jabber article I referenced:
First Look video: JiveTalk mobile IM
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13549_7-9980926-30.html
Free for iPhone / touch, purchase for BlackBerry
- Supports multiple conversations
- supports Jabber, Google Talk, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live,
Myspace IM
- Works on WiFi or cellular data
* I don't see support for rooms

On the beejive page, there's a beta for WinMobile(6 only) and iPhone and
iPod Touch; a free trial for BlackBerry
http://www.beejive.com/ 

Haven't tried it out yet, but looks promising.

Subject: [wg-pic] XMPP news items

I was searching for a recent article about jabber availability on the
iPhone - which I can't forward because I can't find it again - but ran
across these articles of interest in the process:

Yahoo's encouraging words for IM standards
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-9984673-93.html?tag=bl 
Google became a major partner in a search-ad deal with Yahoo announced
in June. A sidelight to the deal was one line saying the companies would
make their IM services interoperable...
... used the open XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol)
standard for instant messaging. It's this standard that Dietzen
apparently sees playing a broader role at Yahoo.
...Yahoo opted to use XMPP in its Yahoo Live experimental video service,
according to Process One, a Parisian company that sells XMPP-based IM
server software using the open-source ejabberd software.
