Steam have finally released their own app for iPhone and Android mobiles! Many gamers, including myself, have begged for such an application for years but valve didn't release an API key for the steam chat system. The app is free at the moment and I highly doubt they will expect you to pay for such app when it is released.

Although the application is still in beta and you cant actually use the application (sucks I know) you can still apply for the beta by downloading and logging in. Im guessing your added to a queue and wont actually get accepted for the beta because of the mass amount of people in that queue, but its still worth a try.

Unlike the Windows 7 phone you cant actually play games on the app, which is probably a good thing, but you can keep track of your profile, chat to your friends, access the community and store and more.

Ill update this post when more information comes available.
 
Been looking at beta news, Apperantly the app is dreadfully slow which i can believe especially on most 527mhz processor phones
 
As most of it should be web based, im guessing this will be due to a bad connection, i could be wrong.
Ive also read it a battery drinker.
They should think about either releasing the API or creating an independant chat app, like facebook have the messenger.
 
why not just have the steam chat and none of the other stuff caus you exactly do much anyway
 
I love the idea of this but as you said BleepyEvans the mobile network conection might be a problem
 
Nah, practically all smart phones now have either 3G or Wifi.
It shouldnt be an issue.
 
yer i think most smart phone companies are allready perfecting the 4G networking but not sure
 
Just got access, not sure whether its open beta now or I was just lucky.
You still have to enter a Steam Guard code so I'm not sure.
I will update with screenshots soon.
