Oh, I know about #maemo, but IRC is hardly consumer-friendly, and #maemo is really geared for the developer community.

What Reggie should do is set up a special itT Meebo Room, and then embed the chat room on a page *on* internettablettalk.com so users don't have to fire up an extra application they've never heard of just to ask a simple question -- the whole idea is to make asking a chat question easier and faster that submitting a one-line post.
