Hahahahahahaha.... Please... Your insinuation that Steam doesn't already take all of my disposable income is laughable.
But cool app. Will be nice to chat with friends on the go, rather than being tethered to my PC.

I'd heard people clamoring for this for ages, but I never thought they'd actually bother to do it. And yet two Christmases have gone by and still no gift cards.
...Who am I kidding, of course they will.
Ha ha ha ha ha! Nice catch. I wonder if anyone's going to see that, think it's real, buy the game, and then go on the forums and ***** about getting "overcharged" for something that "doesn't work on my MAC" (sic).Kapol said:

I can't even log in it either says my login is incorrect or my wifi isn't a valid internet connection.
Funny, I've had this "app" for quite some time.
I had a bookmark of the Steam store saved on the home screen.
From the looks of this app, it does the same exact thing, except with access to your friends list (which I already get that from Raptr and it's mobile app).
I've always wished that if Valve actually did release something like this, it would have some sort of distribution service to buy and play certain games on my iPod, but I doubt Apple's draconian policy would allow such a thing.
EDIT: Oh, and it turns out this app is in beta. You can't simply just log in and go, you have to open up the Steam client on your PC/Mac and change your beta participation settings. Yay.
EDIT AGAIN: Upon further testing, it seems that it's in closed beta, which means you need
a beta key to even try the app out.
Or you could save the trouble and just go to the Steam store on Safari and hit "Save to home screen" and cut out all the bullshit.

I've been saying this should happen for years, but when you put it like this, I'm suddenly worried about my bank account....
