As I said, my guesses wouldn't be true, though they are looking to be a little more right than I thought. Valve has just announced SteamOS, which will have the ability to do the things I suggested a console running Steam would be able to do; syncing saves and friends between devices.
I will admit, I hadn't thought that Valve would announce the OS for a Steam box or other console-like system, but it does make sense. This lets them focus on the features for two days, then the hardware. I'm guessing the hardware announcement will be on Wednesday, because the icon for today's announcement was the circle, and the next announcement has an icon with a circle between two brackets, or in a box.
The final icon, the two circles added together, is now a little more puzzling. Does it concern multiplayer, or could it be that SteamOS devices can work together? Don't know. What I do know is that since it is based on Linux, people will give it kernals to be run on mobile devices eventually. May not work well with gaming, but the audio and video streaming could work well. We'll just have to wait and see.
