Steam App for iOS and Android

Valve have announced that their digital distribution service will be coming to smart phone services, namely the iPhone and Android devices. The app allows you to interact with your friends in the Steam community with a built in chat function. It will also allow you to make purchases from Steam's online store. This means that you will be able to interact with friends and purchase games over steam no matter where you are.

This could be potentially hazardous for wallets as there is now little reason to miss out on steam's notorious game sales. Furthermore it makes the steam platform a lot less secure if you're now able to interact with it much easier on a portable device. Who knows what could result if someone steals your phone or you make the mistake of losing it?

The app is now available in selected beta and you can download it from the App store or the Android Market, but you may have to wait to use it.
