Trying to find some other stuff, but seems like everyone has got them all already!
There is a podcasts button in itunes on my ipad running ios 6... takes me to a page with just some featured ones at top but nothing else:
Runkeeper does this (ducks the music down when providing audio cues).
Yep and nowhere to be found.
Yeah, I guess I'm wondering if it is an iOS 6 systemwide bug.
Dunno if this is in iOS6, but I kinda want a better purchasing experience. In iOS up to now, when you buy or download an app, you're automatically thrown out of the store and is forced to watch your app download.
Just ask me if I want to continue being in the App store, maybe ask where I want my app, and send a notification when it's done downloading.

They completely fixed it. Updates don't even require passwords. You never get kicked from the storefront

It doesn't throw you out anymore.
Instead when you go back to your homescreen you'll see a "New" banner tied across the app you downloaded:

Wow. The new Javascript engine in Safari iOS6 is a LOT faster. I can't wait to get the new iPhone to see what it's like with less of a CPU bottleneck!
Edit: (I'm an iPhone 4 user).

Is there still a chance for iTunes online like the Google Play store?
Luckily no, it doesn't.
Is turn-by-turn working for anyone btw? I get the onscreen directions but no voice.

Yeah, it's probably the most shocking part of the beta so far. iOS 6 runs great on the 4, and Safari is noticeably faster.
They're all now properly centered, where previously it was only Mon. Also, the color gradient status bar seems to make more sense now. It matches whatever color the app menu bar is using;

Gah whhhhhhy?
I wanted them to do black all the time. So much nicer. Damn it Apple.

Yup. I had no idea how bad ios5 safari was on my iPhone 4 until I compared with my iPad 3. I always thought things were slow because of my 3g connection. Need the 5 so bad.

Action Sheet APIs.
Some things I found in the WWDC slides.
Example of Routing apps showing up in Maps app, filtered by the geography of your location search:
Passbook doesn't require companion apps for passes:
Example of getting a coupon pass in an email:
It's good to see a semblance of options for "default" apps.

Passbook is probably the iOS6 feature I am most excited about, along with turn-by-turn GPS and not having to type in my password every time I want to update a fucking app.
Microsoft demoed their own Wallet system for WP8 today as well and it looks like it's taking Apple's approach as well as Secure SIM for Debit/Credit cards.
I wonder if Apple will do the same. Apple will have a huge advantage by the sheer fact that they have so many iPhones.
Gotta lol at Google Wallet though. That thing went nowhere.

I haven't have a thorough look at Passbook, but it looks like it could be used as a general digital payment system *now*. An app like Square, or PayPal could probably make a passbook card file, and retailers could use a barcode reader. I do imagine Apple will show us more about Passbook in October, it is probably going to be a key feature in the new iPhone.

This is how the Starbucks app works now and I'd love if other businesses did the same.
I've never used Downcast so I don't know if you can download mp3s from within the app, but I would use iCab mobile to browse to that link, download the file and then open it with whatever app you want.

You have to wait for companies to implement it.

Not the do not disturb thing, since you talked about it on the podcast so much I thought that would be one of your most anticipated.

Me too. So far for the new iPhone and iOS6, it's Passbook with RFID, a new Camera (coming from the iPhone 4), and to be honest, the faster CPU, allowing for faster web browsing, especially when combined with iOS6's new Javascript engine.

Anyone running the beta of iOS 6 used it with a Ford Sync system yet? I'm curious if now shows text message alerts with Sync. This wasn't supported in the past but may be now.

Can you search your previous purchase list on iphone in ios6?

Nope.
Yeah I love the Starbucks app and being able to pay with it. What other apps are like it?
NFC payments are going nowhere anytime soon so I'd like to see this concept of bar code payments and readers expanded. Hopefully passbook encourages companies to take advantage.

While not exactly the same you can check into many airlines with essentially the same process although usually the barcode is in an email and not in an app. Edit: I think the same goes for Amtrak.
As much as I hope NFC payments take off so I can get rid of my real wallet I think you're right in that it'll be quite a while until it becomes really useful. The barcode system is a decent stop gap solution.
What's the easiest way to downgrade to 5.1.1 again from the iOS 6 beta?
Just download the 5.1.1 firmware and update with it in iTunes, correct? Does anyone have that link to the firmware versions handy?
I got tired of iOS6 fucking up my apps. There's a lot of things in it that I like, but Air Video doesn't work, that's a game breaker for me.

On a Mac I think it's Option+click on restore, on PC it's Shift+click on restore.

Subway loyalty card uses a barcode, so hopefully they'll get on it, along with other loyalty cards.
However you might still need an app to see points, and for their marketing.

That's actually a good point, I don't recall any mention of seeing a balance on certain cards in passbook? That's a pretty big part of the Starbucks app at least.
It's a great feature, but Starbucks had to replace basically every barcode scanner they had to make sure they would be able to read phone screens. I can see a lot of companies not wanting to make that investment.
