Shaky at best. Lots of little visual bugs, and general performance isn't what I'd call smooth.
Still pretty happy with how it looks though.
Haha, I think there's a reason they waited a few weeks to get an iPad build out to the public. It's very much work-in-progress.
If the reminders UI for the iPad ships like as it is now, I'll freak out.
Half the screen is transparent with the reminders list, the other half is textured paper like on the iPhone. It really looks unfinished.
Plus there are elements of the split keyboard that aren't done yet, like the keyboard dismissal icon.
Bookmarks bar in Safari doesn't seem to work either.

iCloud tabs don't seem to work in either direction, too.
Also Airdrop is totally the snazziest thing ever.
And I'm trying to figure out what the fuck the purpose of Photo Booth is. I don't mind the tacky skeu is out, especially since it fucking put a red cast on your face, but now it's effectively the same as the camera app, except with different filter effects. Also, not a usability/purpose complaint but flipping the camera in it = some sort of freak out every time.

As I understand it the original idea for the iPad version was to show off the A5 chip and front-facing camera in the iPad 2 - basically a tech demo.
At least the previous version had a countdown though. This has the exact properties as the camera app, except no mode selector and the goofy visual filters instead.

Likely in September/Fall, but it's more likely they update the rMBP and discontinue the MacBook Pro. It will happen eventually.
Back to school means discount program, so it's doubtful they update before the fall.
iTunes doesn't allow updating to non registered devices. Anyone who says otherwise is already registered through someone, this year or prior years and are still on an active dev account as they carry over.
My brief observations of beta 2 so far is that overall it feels smoother and more stable than beta 1. A lot of the quirks from beta 1 have been addressed, but at the same time, there are numerous new bugs, particularly with the home screen and status bar.
Right now my status bar is black and illegible on the home screen with the default nebula wallpaper. It also went landscape once on the home screen.
I also get the green "Tap to return to call" bar now during a call when I'm on the phone call screen.
The people who claimed it'll "brick" devices also have a link to their paid UDID registration service, so they have a vested interest in telling people such information.
Regular MBP will probably survive another year with a spec bump, but it's days are certainly numbered.

Can't verify what the situation is, but it certainly won't brick any devices. At best it'll be locked with a message that you can't activate it without registering the device. At worst, you'll get an endless reboot, in which case you just need to DFU restore.

Here's a pastebin for the Beta 2 release notes, re-wrote some of the Apple dev-focused speak into more understandable language.

It just keeps hanging at "Preparing to Download" for me. Anyone else able to download it?
Give it time. Mine were stuck there for like 1.5 hours.
Pull down the notification center in the meantime.

It did that for me. I had to select a different language, then go back to the one I wanted.

And that did the trick. Thanks!
It took me several attempts and a restart of my phone to get it to work.
I'm definitely not imagining bad battery life.
Went to sleep with my phone at 30%, woke up 10 minutes late because my phone was dead and my alarm never went off. My phone has survived the night and woken me up starting with less than 10% battery on dozens of occasions. Even more telling though, was that I charged my phone while I was getting ready, back up to around 30%, and it was completely dead by the end of my hour and a half commute -- and I only used it once to send a text.
So yeah I'm sure I have a stray process running that's melting the shit out of my phone. I haven't messed with the Xcode tools yet though.

SIX YEARS of muscle memory swiping list items to the right to delete them.
And Apple changed it to Swipe to the left in iOS 7. I'm still using the old gesture without thinking about this.
Seems like the change was made solely to support the animation of the new "delete" button sliding into view without caring much about the familiarity of the old gesture. sigh

I think it has more to do with the new " swipe to the right to go back " gesture.

I'm pretty sure it previously let you swipe in either direction to bring up the delete option.
This.

Does anyone know if per-app VPN is available in the iOS 7 beta?
This article talks about the process - http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013/06/how-to-get-ios-7-without-a-developer-account-or-udid-right-now/

Yeah I noticed that, too.
I think I'm more interested in the rumoured 'budget' iPhone this year if it's a 4S with a 3GS-style curved plastic rear.
I'd love the budget iPhone to be in a ton of bright colours like a Lumia.
There was that fingerprint sensor Apple patent that surfaced a little while back..

It doesn't work iOS to OS X (or vice versa) because, unfortunately, they're basically two totally different things with the same name.
It'd only be doable if OS X got the additional sharing services that iOS has (shared URLs is the best example), and if iOS actually got a working shared document pool (so someone could AirDrop you a PDF, for example, and it wouldn't have to get attached to a specific app).

I was hoping that it would at least let you do this, and basically just "Opens in..." whatever file you dropped to the iPhone so you could put it where you wanted it to go.
Would be a really good feature.
Going from iOS to OSX doesn't seem like something I'd really want to do, but vice-versa, yeah. I'd love bi-directional of course...
It seems to be pretty specific on the size of the image and the aspect ratio before it'll classify something as a panorama.Still no custom Panorama Wallpapers ? Can't seem to make them work like they should
My gripe is it isn't even recognising panoramas I took on the bloody phone!
Yeah, I just tested it out iPad to iPhone and it's quite cool. Too bad that I won't be able to use it in the real life with people I know for a few more years as they're all using older iPhones that don't get airdrop. Gotta wait for them to upgrade first.
What? It doesn't work?
Wow my most hyped feature now has become useless... why even call it AirDrop if it doesn't connect to the Macs?

OS X has had arbitrary URL schemes for years. Off the top of my head, I remember a bunch of Mac-only network games over the years used them to launch-games via a web-based game tracker.
