    I was looking for something like this just the other day on Android, mainly for chat as some people I can only contact through steam chat, :D, and so when I'm away from the PC or its off, this could be really handy.

    I really wish they'd invest the efforts on a fully-functional Linux client for Steam instead and start porting some of the source games over.

    About damned time! I have been wanting a mobile app with friends/chat so that I can see who is online without needing to turn my PC on.

    missed some lovely steam sales 'cos the browser version of steam store didn't want to take my money or kept blocking me from logging in on my mobile, plus store frontpage is an arse to load and browse on a phone with slow internet so nice one.

    This is what's got me the most interested. Between Skype and Steam I should be able to communicate with people using my phone just as I would from my PC.

    I just got access too, but I'm pretty sure it only gives you one invite (at least I only have one in my inventory).

    It is pretty much everything you have in your Steam client, except downloading and installing the the games. Included are the friends & groups (including chat), store, wishlist and community features.
