Janos, It sounds like TinyOS does not currently support a zigbee stack therefore no zigbee "features" are available. Instead the IRIS and MicaZ motes just so happen to be zigbee compliant hardware. Could I port my current software from my Mica2 platform to either of these platforms (granted I update my tool chain for IRIS) with ease and in the future switch over to a zigbee stack such as ZStack instead of using TinyOS?
Also, I have noticed that the radio used on the IRIS mote (Atmel RF230) is only 802-15.4-2003 compliant meaning it won't work with the current 802.15.4-2006 standard. I think this is a major drawback of this chip, even though it is more power efficient, so I will instead go with the CC2430 System-On-Chip hardware offered by Ti. Thanks everyone.
