[Adium-devl] Adium iPhone

[mm w]

ok let's do concrete

needs:

- how many iPhones there? mine 8gb 2.1

- a prepaid apple adium account to invite users with a valid adc account

- if we are 10 it's $10 per person, who wants to raise the money

- Dev main tableView, what we paint in the contact list (use of custom
cellView or not?)
- a datasource arrayController (2 levels, sections) for each  tableView

<key>table</key>
	<array>
		<dict>
			<key>section</key>
			<string>toto</string>
			<key>user</key>
			<array>
				<dict>
					<key>id</key>

...

				</dict>
				<dict>
					<key>id</key>
...
				</dict>
			</array>
		</dict>
		<dict>
