Anyone having issues installing this to an iPad 2? Beta1 ran fine, installed the OTA update and now its booting up over and over, with the occasional kernel panic text:
"AppleBCMWLANCore::start(): No baseband monitor, failed to write vendor ID property into registry"
is the only one I've managed to catch. Kinda weird seeing console text being output directly onto the iPad screen! I've tried restoring back to beta 1 and reapplying the OTA update but I get the same results every time. I probably should just go post on the developer forum I guess..

Yussss my biggest annoyance with iOS6 Beta 1 has been fixed:
FIXED: Users may notice that the key clicking sounds are skipped during fast typing.
That was killing me, having only every 3rd-4th key making a sound.

Maps in beta 2 are night and day in AZ. I also really like how it will slideshow pictures in the info screen. I also noticed a decent speed improvement on my iPhone 4. Sparrow still has issues, but honestly the new mail is decent enough for now. App store now has the updates tab in the middle now, I don't think it was that way previous beta.
My question for those of you that have Facebook turned on do I have to sync contacts and all that crap? I noticed a few weeks ago that it would constantly ask me to post apps on Facebook when i was browsing the app store. Is that still the case? Can I turn that off?

People who type a lot leave this on? Seems like it would get annoying if you type a lot and fast.
Pics?

Fo sure I leave it on. It helps me with the fast typing, especially when I'm typing without looking at the screen.
My phone's usually on silent if I'm doing a lot of texting/emailing etc., so as to not drive my coworkers insane. But whenever I'm alone, those sweet sweet clicking sounds just do things to me.

I'm fairly sure it was only inside the Settings app that the cogs/gears were rotating, and only during the update. Mine weren't rotating on the springboard/home screen.
Agreed but it's something Apple's starting to tinker with....

Well iOS 6 b2 broke the nike running app. So fucking disappointed I'll likely lose multiple runs.

I just tested it--seems to work fine?
If you're a Mac user, this worked well in the past for me. You don't have to jailbreak your phone or anything. http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/

Did you actually try click run? It crashes to the home screen for me. Tried disabling the count down and reset my phone twice. iPhone 4
Oh, I'm on iPhone 4S. I tried a basic run and jogged 0.1 miles. It logged it and did everything like before.
I actually had trouble with the old version (Nike+GPS, prior to UI/name revamp) on beta 1 (it didn't announce progress over the music mid-run).

Hopefully nike releases something. May try deleting and try re-downloading.
Some more info about Passbook.
- It'll automatically increase the brightness to help with barcode readers.
- They're supporting three types of 2D barcodes--PDF417, Aztec, and QR. 2D barcodes contain rectangles, dots, geometric patterns, etc. They recommend PDF417 because it's horizontal and uses less vertical space so it's friendlier for layouts.
Aztec:
PDF417:
1D barcodes (parallel lines--like a UPC) aren't supported because they're hard to scan on LCDs.
- There's five different pass styles. Coupons (perforated edge), store cards, boarding pass, event tickets (semicircle cut), and generic. In that order:

Oh man, so excited for Passbook. Definitely the killer app in iOS6.

Yeah, I forgot that iOS6 is launching with new hardware. Either way I wouldn't expect it to reduce much bulk in your wallet for a while.

True. But one year in i bet as much. I will probably retire my starbucks card from my wallet this October.

You can already retire your Starbucks card, the Starbucks app already works like passbook will.

Yeah I have it but have been hesitant to get rid of it. Maybe I should just jump in now lol.
Starbucks is who they always seem to partner with for a lot of things. Maybe JC Penney.
I wonder if they will try to roll their own or do something with Paypass or ISIS.

I don't think Apple will. They need to penetrate the market, not segment it.

As long as it works with the system Chase uses I'll be happy.
