There's the steam box I suppose. A steam handheld would be pretty cool. I love the 3DS, but it is underpowered and the games are hella expensive. A good alternative with a controller and lots of reasonably-priced indie games would be great.

The upcoming Dragonbox Pyra could be a great Linux portable machine running Steam (provided they provide ARM runtimes + ARM recompiled versions of games).

This is probably another issue. They definitely haven't started to deploy ARM version of games yet, even though there's numerous games that are 'ARM' compatible. Although, any game coded in Java and similar frameworks could in theory already run on top of arm versions of said frameworks I suppose.
