    I wonder how long before they decide to start selling mobile games on the service, a year? 2 years?

    That would be a killer app :D Buy it thru the phone and put the pc downloading the game, so when a guy comes home it'll be ready.

    Or if u have an urge to play a game, and don't have it installed, your phone could make the pc intall it... That would be awesome.

    App is a little buggy which is to be expected. I haven't been able to get chat to work yet and as lacuna says, doesn't work over 3G.

    :(

    Works fine over 3G for me as well. Only "bug" I've found so far is that if you've got a chat window with the same person open on your phone and on your PC they don't display the same thing. Messages you send on your PC show up on your phone's chat window, but messages sent from your phone don't show up on your PC's chat window.

    EDIT: Also, I have an extra access that I can gift if anyone wants it.

    I don't use Linux, but i completely agree. It seems like a largely untapped market.

    enjoying the app me, a couple thing I would like them to add is forums within the app itself, the groups need more work. Overall the have done a great job it runs very smooth also.

    If you're still waiting for an invite to the beta, there's some good news: the update Jack_Pepsi noticed yesterday opened the app to all, no invitation required. Go nuts.

    Another update came out (version 1.02) which has improved performance for me and it now works over 3G.

    :D

    on iphone, when closing the app it also signs you out. no push notification. :( (i didn't have steam running on computer though) kind of pointless by signing you off though, should add a new status called "on mobile" and keep you signed in when not on computer.

    overall nice app, a bit slow with the amount of web pages. (eg, anything not friends list) wish some parts are pre-loaded instead of requiring to reload over mobile internet every time.

    Complain to Apple for their "multitasking" implementation.
