We're talking apps for steam.
Not the steam app for mobile.

Can you guys read?  This isn't the standard Steam Mobile app, this will be a computer based app store rivaling the Apple and Microsoft app stores for Mac/PC.

That's what I just said.

Pretty sure it's just games and things related to those games, and filmmaker.

Apps could mean lots of things.

One of the things on my "wish list of cool things" is a properly integrated android "emulator" for Windows (and co.), where the applications actually feel fairly native, and it's an x86 Dalvik implementation (similarly to WINE) instead of a real emulator. While it would exclude some stuff developed using the NDK I believe it would be possible.

Well, it would be neat to have certain apps available on the overlay.

Like calculator, notepad, etc. I know another overlay program had this. I forget what it was called.
