Apple is now releasing a new OS X Lion 10.7.3 test build every week. Last week, it was already expected that the then-released version could be final and the 10.7.3 update would finally reach all users, but now another build has arrived with the designation 11D50, for which we can only speculate whether it is really the last.

Back in March of last year, Valve announced that it would focus on the iOS mobile platform, and many were hoping for the arrival of an official mobile client to access most of Steam's features. But only now the company released the official app for free. The official description of the app reads:
With the free Steam app for iOS, you can be active in the Steam community wherever you are. Chat with your friends, view community groups and user profiles, read the latest gaming news and stay up-to-date on unbeatable Steam sales.
The application has a similar menu to the Facebook client.

However, they should be released for other users shortly. The Android client was also released on the same day.
