    I don't think it's possible to hook into iMessage, which is a mobile app and uses an Apple ID.

    Nope, there's no way to tap into Apple's message servers. Some things like Google Talk allow you to use a server to chat instead of their site, but Apple is much more strict and messages can only be sent from the iDevice or iComputer that has iMessage.

    Well, I wouldn't say it's impossible, just too annoying to really implement. You could have an iMessage client running on a computer, which parses all messages it receives and sends them off to the server.

    Sounds interesting but why do you want it?

    I could think of one reason, A player chats and it send the message it to his iDevice.

    That would be awefully annoying.

    Not worth it. Might be fun if I had a mac though.

    I really don't know, I don't own any Apple devices other than an iPod nano.

    I think you would be able to send regular text messages or emails with the help of a Java SMS/Email API. You can send text messages through email as well. Each carrier I believe has a different format, for example:

    Show Spoiler
    Alltel
    [10-digit phone number]@message.alltel.com
    Example: [email protected]
    AT&T (formerly Cingular)
    [10-digit phone number]@txt.att.net
    Example: [email protected]
    For multimedia messages, use [10-digit-number]@mms.att.net
    Example: [email protected]
    Boost Mobile
    [10-digit phone number]@myboostmobile.com
    Example: [email protected]
    Cricket Wireless
    [10-digit phone number]@sms.mycricket.com
    Example: [email protected]
    For multimedia messages: [10-digit phone number]@mms.mycricket.com
    Example: [email protected]
    Nextel (now part of Sprint Nextel)
    [10-digit telephone number]@messaging.nextel.com
    Example: [email protected]
    Sprint (now Sprint Nextel)
    [10-digit phone number]@messaging.sprintpcs.com
    Example: [email protected]
    T-Mobile
    [10-digit phone number]@tmomail.net
    Example: [email protected]
    Verizon
    [10-digit phone number]@vtext.com
    Example: [email protected]
    Virgin Mobile USA
    [10-digit phone number]@vmobl.com
    Example: [email protected]
