Push has been working since Beta 3 and seems to run a lot better with Beta 4.
Sharing in App Store
Anyone noticed that the 'share' button on the App Store (the small rectangle with arrow at top right) has been damn inconsistent in the betas? This is whilst on an apps page btw.
It has worked once I think. Can someone check it out for me?

There is a new animation when you put your iPhone in landscape mode to acces cover flow in the music app.
Judging by the incredibly small size of the OTA update, probably not a single new feature. God, did Apple take 2 weeks just to roll out bug fixes....?
Quoting LagunaSol: "Apple really needs to step on the accelerator in iOS development."
This would be ok if we actually got something valuable in this update, but alas...
Yeah it zooms in to cover flow now. Subtle but an improvement nonetheless.
Downloading also seems faster too.
So basically 6.1 is nothing but a bug fixes, for the most part. Dang. I thought they would at least include 2 new awesome features. iOS 6 is just a mess...I see now why they fired him. Heck, even Android 4.1/4.2 was better than Apple's .x releases, even though 4.2 had a lot of bugs.
iOS 6.1 supports socket 5 proxy?
I am using iOS 6.01 which only supports http proxy. As many of you know, there are many firewall issues in China that certain websites and server cannot be accessed from US. With http proxy, I could view the websites, but not certain server. I am wondering if iOS 6.1 supports socket proxy, and i am really hoping this is the a new feature that come with the new coming iOS 6.1.

Buy an Andriod for yourself man, why would Apple upgrade an os that is already 'perfect' enough by itself? Of course I want some new awesome feature's too, but could you call 2 new features you really want to see in iOS? No I cannot, the only thing I still want is an improved Siri and a better Maps application; But at which point can Apple still revolutionize? I really don't know.
The iPhone has already tons of apps optimized for the retina screen, a great camera, a nice CPU / GPU and a perfect sleek body. The OS has all the feature's I want, the only thing they can do is improving the things they've already done. Don't you?
One thing I noticed with Engadgets website is that it adds it as a self contained app albeit not full screen, rather than a Safari bookmark. Was this in before?
No, I'm fine with not having an Android. I still prefer iOS...I've had it since 2007. But, I still like the route Android is going. I think I'm tired of iOS due it not changing much since the first iPhone.
Yes you have to register your UDID. Costs about $10, perfectly safe, did it with my iPhone 4 & 4s not interested in doing it with my 5 because betas suck
I'm finding Beta 4 to be much smoother than beta 3 was on my iPhone 4. Animations are more fluid and there is no noticeable lag like I was experiencing with the previous beta.

Seems fine on Beta 4. Tried a few apps and the share sheet appears. I think sometimes you have to wait for the app page to fully load before pressing it.

That's only because it has been bug fixes for the past 2 betas and ZERO new features. If there's still lag, something is very wrong.
What's the point of updating to iOS 6.1 if there's nothing? It's as good as staying on 6.0.1, and I don't have to waste storage space to accommodate the new update.
Oh, good for you then. I use my iPod Touch for music, and it's still on iOS 5 because I only use it for music and occasional videos, don't need any of the iOS 6 features.

What lag issue?
