Forum collecting Steam information   http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1185613. 
 
 Among the more interesting details:

-- Requires Mac OS X 10.5 or higher
-- Intel-only
-- Source games require 10.5.8 or 10.6.3 or higher, and are not supported on the X3100 or 900-series Intel chipsets (the integrated graphics chipsets in older MacBooks)
-- You will not be required to purchase separate versions of Windows and Mac games. One purchase will work on multiple platforms
-- Steam and Source will run natively in OS X -- no emulation whatsoever
-- Source will run on OpenGL
-- Mac and Windows users will play on the same servers and join the same lobbies
-- Release expected in May

So it was originally April, now it's May... Anyone want to place any bets on when it will actually come out?
 
Ah, Valve Time. How we love to hate you.

I'd say somewhere between early august to Half-Life Episode 3.

Thanks for the delay again!
 
Don't care anymore.  Starcraft 2 for Mac is out very soon, less than a day or two...Valve had their chance.  I will keep playing the SC2 beta on my Mac instead of playing Steam Games.

I'll just be happy to have the option to play some more games on my macbook while traveling.  And the fact that I don't have to pay for additional licenses is very nice.  I'd be more excited if it was more then the Valve games being talked about.
