The app is currently available, though the service itself is in closed beta. From the press release:

With the Steam app, gamers around the world may chat with Steam friends, browse community groups and user profiles, view screenshots and user-generated content for their favorite games, read the latest gaming news, stay up to date on unbeatable Steam sales, and more.

“The Steam app comes from many direct requests from our customers,” said Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve. “Seeing which of your friends are online and playing a game, sending quick messages, looking at screenshots for an upcoming game, or catching a sale - these are all features customers have requested. Mobile is changing way people interact, play games and consume media, and the Steam app is part of our commitment to meet customer demands and expand the service functionality of Steam to make it richer and more accessible for everyone.”

To be considered for inclusion in the beta, users should log into their steam account from the app, which is available for free via the Apple App Store and the Android Market. Valve says that more and more users will be signed up for the beta as time passes.

Finally, we can blow tons of cash on Steam sales from the bus!

One of our biggest complaints about Google Music was that you couldn’t re-download any songs you’d added to your online library. Google’s now brought this feature for the web interface and the Music Manager app, so you can download your music—whether it’s your entire library or just a few tracks—with the click of a button.

This works for purchased music and songs you’ve uploaded yourself, though you can only download purchased tracks two times from the web interface. To do it, just click the triangle next to a song or group of songs and choose “Download Selected Songs”. If you want to download your whole library, open up the Music Manager app for Windows, OS X, or Linux, go to the Download tab, and click “Export Your Library”. You can do this as many times as you want, regardless of whether you’ve hit the limit for downloading purchased tracks or not. Hit the link to read more.
