Text Chat for iOS?

We're very pleased with FMS 4.5's new ability to stream live video to iOS devices (iPads/iPhones) as well as desktop computers using HLS and HDS streaming.  Very cool.

In order to replace our current webcasting setup, we need to be able to incorporate a text chat alongside the video.

Of course, a Flash application won't play on an iOS device, so I'm guessing I'll have to approach it via HTML5 or similar.

Can anyone recommend a tutorial on building such web chat via HTML5?

Or is there a better way to approach this?

Thanks in advance.

Mike

If Video and Chat are only two things in you webcasting set up - you might try developing Native iOS Application but if you do not have experience in iOS Development it might take some skill and time.

I found chat app based on HTML5 here : http://html5demos.com/web-socket - dont know how good it is and whether it would fit your use case.
