With the new Steam mobile app (yes!) currently only available in beta form (no!), many of you probably can’t actually access it. Never mind. This video is the next best thing.
This video was also recorded on my shitty old digital camera (my iPhone’s lovely HD recording obviously unavailable because…that’s where the Steam app is), so if you don’t like the audio, well, I don’t like it either.

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 5:08 PMCan you chat? I reckon the steam chat alone will save me tons of money since I can message my friends via steam!!

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 5:18 PMJust got my access. At work messaging my mates on steam instead of wasting money, It’s sooo good. =D

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 5:35 PMYou can. Much like you can message via email on your phone, or facebook message, pinger etc etc. I’m not really hurting for another app that allows me an alternative to SMS. Espeically when I have unlimited SMS on my plan ;)

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 5:49 PMThe chat works great (yay, multiclient!) except there’s no group chat or multiple-person chat, which is the biggest use I have for steam chat, that is just hanging in clan chat all day.

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 7:56 PMSo far I’ve ONLY used it for chat. As silly as it sounds, I’ve got this one friend who’s slightly technologically inept and somehow the easiest way to contact him at a particular moment was through steam chat. Now I have something like seven applications for messaging on my phone >.>

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 6:44 PMGot my access this morning. Haven’t had too much of an explore yet but I can already tell it is going to be SUPER dangerous at Steam sales time. All day temptation is tempting

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 7:13 PMAlso logged in this morning and found it was working.
The chats is nice, the only issue I have with it is that it doesn’t synchronise with the PC client in the same way that Jabber/Google chat does.
I get replies on the PC but not what I send.

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 9:11 PMi personally hate it…i have already spent money on things i won’t even play…the specials feature on the catalog is seriously killing my wallet.
I only used to sometimes check the specials but now that i can see them on the go, well…you get the idea.
