First thing I thought when I saw that too. I'd probably leave dark mode on all the time, but it'd be especially useful when browsing at night . . .
I just noticed that on Apples site here : http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/
...the little globe icon is missing from the keyboard (the one which takes you to the emojis in iOS 7) - have these been removed in iOS 8 I wonder?

Doesn't that only show up if you have more than one keyboard selected/enabled?I just noticed that on Apples site here : http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/

Yes it's on the Apple site..click on "learn more" on the photo part and it's the last part
It's listed on the little things slide that they had up during keynote. Also ICE card and facetime call waiting.
TimeLapse mode for camera (mentioned on iOS8 page, but not in keynote)

The major feature I was hoping to see was the ability to view Preview files (PDF's and Text) within IOS. I did not see this feature. But interestingly enough under the iCloud app, you see a folder for GoodReader. Does this mean that you will be able to save PDF's on your Mac to GoodReader and access them on your IOS device? I know this is available now with some workarounds, but am hoping it will now be native with the two iCloud apps.
As soon as I can get my hands on the restore file, I'll have it up and running on my iPad and I can spill the secrets.
If anyone needs help with management I would glad to help. Maybe instead of an edited forum post there should be a collab document in iCloud (or Google Drive, but iCloud cause iOS!) with the list.

It's useful in the reverse. It helps you not be blinded by the device's brightness when in a dark environment. Tweetbot has a feature that will switch the UI to dark when the auto brightness hits a certain point. It should be a feature across the OS.
Overall, a pretty nice release. I got most things on my wishlist. The other things that we didn't get that I was hoping for was real, OS X-like safari extensions (I don't want to have to tap the share button to use one) and a way to set default apps. Hopefully that multitasking iPad UI will come eventually.
Well, third-party keyboards is a highlight.
I wouldn't expect it to be bundled straight off the bat though. Maybe in a few betas down the road we'll see it.
What exactly is DuckDuckGo if you do not mind me asking? Never head of it and sadly missed WWDC!
No new version required.
One thing I have found which wasn't mentioned is under iCloud settings. It's called 'Look Me Up By Email'
Can also confirm battery usage by app in "last 24 hours" and "last 7 days"
It's a secure search engine that prides itself on privacy. It's really great. Better than Google.
I like the option for a third party keyboard and better communications between apps. I would have liked to have the ability to change default apps, but that is still not available in iOS 8.
