Valve is looking into expanding Steam to the iOS and Android platforms, according to Political Gamer who recently visited their headquarters.

After waiting in the lobby for a few minutes it turned out Gabe was in the office and wanted to say hi. To my great delight he was playing DOTA 2 when we walked in and from what I can see the game already looks very promising. After a little "sneak peek" we sat down to talk about Steam and other goings on in Valve. During this chat he confirmed that Steam will get a video recorder very soon, also he said they were looking into the iOS/Android platform for possible expansions with Steam. He also siad that the Source film maker is in the pipeline for a public release. After the chat was over he happily signed my copy of the Orange box and sent me on my way to Robin Walker.

It's unclear how Steam would function on iOS since Apple would most likely prohibit any type of third party App Store. Perhaps they would bring some of their community features to iOS as something more akin to Game Center.
