Steam mobile beta now open to all, still of questionable utility
If you were dismayed to find yourself waiting in the queue for a beta invite after downloading the mobile Steam client the other day, fret no more — the trial is now open to all who desire entry. Of course, it’s still really just a companion to the desktop shop and not a must-have mobile gaming market. We’re sure some of you have more friends on Steam than you do in meatspace, though, so being able to chat with fellow gaming addicts or purchase the latest DLC pack for Arkham City while on the go might be the greatest thing to ever happen to you.

Kinect for Windows SDK beta 2 out now, celebratory celebrations cleared to commence
It’s only been a few months, but already the Kinect for Windows SDK beta is moving from stage uno to stage dos. (That’s one and two, vaqueros.) Microsoft’s outing it in commemoration of the Kinect’s one-year anniversary, and it’s also launching a Kinect for Windows site and blog, too. We’re told that the Kinect for Windows commercial program is still on track for an early 2012 launch, and to date, some 200 companies have agreed to take part in the pilot program. Ask for the beta 2 piece, the refreshed build includes “faster skeletal tracking, a better accuracy rate when it comes to skeletal tracking and joint recognition, and the ability to plug and unplug your Kinect without losing work / productivity.” Hit the source links to get your download on, but be warned — we’ve seen it off and on throughout the day.
Update: Just in case you need even more info on the movement, the official KinectforWindows.org website is now live too.
