Rails app and chat

I'm developing this application and I want to add chat for users.

I don't want to go with the ajax polling stuff.

Is there any other way to integrate chatting (any good gem or any suggestion)?

Your might want to check out Pusher, and they have an example chat app and here is their device compatibility. They also have a gem, they use web sockets (like @PaulProgrammer's suggestion) but fallback to flash for older browsers.

Hope this helps

Web sockets. Maybe. For some browsers.
