I could prepare something similar to the android app, but also without chat.
Sadly I don't have enought spare time to create a app that I would never use myself. But if you would pay enought I could consider it again.

Oh My God. What an idiot, shouting demands and insulting people. If you wanted a f ing steam app so much, why did you get an n900 and not an android or iphone?

it's easy enough to make an app that pulls data from a web page, but it's impossible for it to keep working without someone updating it. Steam has no public api so every time they change their web page in any way the app will be very likely to stop working.

Eh... sort of. For one thing, it doesn't change all that often, and might need a couple minutes of work every year or so - I wrote my own grabber for my signature at least a year ago, and have had to update it at most once...


That being said, I too don't care about such an app(I run steam when I p.ay TF2, and only during that time)... I'd do it for $50 though.

To add some though to the topic. I think the ultimate solution wouldn't be to port these apps, but to write an OSS x-platform alternative. The most difficult part would be how to collect royalties as the app itself must be free as in beer to be able to compete with others. We all know that maintanance and labour doesn't come free.
It would need to be:
1) cross-platform (it has to run on virtually anything)
2) OSS and free as in beer
3) low demand on system and bandwidth with best posible sound quality for speech
4) clan/guild chat/voice, kind of like teamspeak.
5) maybe some additional features

With these features it would be very popullar.
Though I don't think a single person could achive this without a company or lage sum of money behind him.
