PCG article: http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/01/26/steam-app-coming-to-ios-and-android/
Valve have just announced that a Steam app is incoming for iOS and Android. It’ll support chat, groups and screenshots. You’ll even be able to purchase games when on the move.
Lord of Valve, Gabe Newell seems keen: “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.”The app is currently in closed beta. To express interest, download the app for iOS or Android, then log into your account from within. Valve will send out more invites as the “service ramps up.”
I can imagine the drunken 3G purchases/messages already. Apologies in advance friends list.

i can’t wait till someone gets VAC banned and gaben phones them up. you are riding public transport, on your every day commute to work. the phone rings. it is an unrecognised number
“hello?”
“hi, i’m gabe newell”
your brow tenses, your palms start sweating. you have been dreading this call
you look away from the delightful old lady beside you, oblivious to your new crisis and instead preoccupied with the front page of the local newspaper, to see if anyone else on the bus is somehow playing a clever prank on you. everybody else is either staring blankly out of the windows or staring blankly towards the front of the vehicle. you try to stay calm, not wanting to arouse suspicion. you switch the handset between ears. your mouth is dry and your throat feels hoarse.
you hurriedly look back towards the old lady.
it is gabe newell
“hi i’m gabe newell”

Assuming that’s your account, how were you notified of being in the beta? Was it just pot luck, or did you receive an email or something?

I contacted Valve
To be clear: You show interest in joining the beta by trying to login on the app. It will say that you can’t login since the account is not part of the beta, but that your interest has been noted.
If you get a beta invite, it will just be added to your Steam library. I didn’t get any notification by email. You will also get an extra invite added to your item inventory.
edit: corrections
