Well thats what ive been waiting for to jump to the beta 3 thanks for that brother.
Other than MLB is a goofiest sport rules wise. Designated hitter in one league but not in the other? And why does a pitcher need a new baseball after her pitches one in the dirt but yet after a batter hits a one hopper to the infielder they toss it right to him. So stuck in silly traditions!
Mind, blown. Haha
All installed now on my iPhone 4S.
Some noticeable things:
Darker fonts in Messages
Drop shadows for app font in folders
When you take a picture, the "wait" spinner around the shutter button is now a pinwheel.
Overall seems much smoother throughout the OS including app switcher.
Still no way to shuffle music by artist. In artists, you can only shuffle by album, and can't play an entire artist. Although I hear Siri has a workaround for this, haven't tried it myself.
.com button in Safari now hidden underneath the period button, spacebar lengthened.
Time will tell for the rest of the bugs I had in Beta 2.

Seems to be the same size when the pages are fanned out to scroll through. I hate that it's on the top left side to X it out with my thumb, although, I do just swipe it to close.

It does. Flawlessly.
iA Writter doesn't crash on startup anymore
Noticed that too, and it brought me much joy. I do a lot of draft writing on iA Writer as it's dead simple and syncs with my iPhone, iPad and iMac. Huge fan of that little app.
Anyone else have an incorrect number of unread texts? I have had "11" unread texts since Beta 1, when in reality I have 0. I did a factory reset and restored my backup from iCloud and it still is happening, so must be something in the messages app
Ahh.. Finally someone speaking my mind... I agree with ya bro... The iOS 7 icons are Mind-Numbing, Spirit-Crushing, Stomach-Wrenching, Soul-Destroying, Heart-Bleeding, Eye-Aching, Fugly, Inconsistent, Confusing.... Just Bad... :'(
Pulling up Control Center dims the application behind it, so it may affect the visibility of the shadows.
In iOS 7, apps and their UI elements are procedurally dimmed when needed, as opposed to iOS 6 which used big translucent bitmaps to dim apps behind dialogs.
If the icons are going to be changed, they could do it just before release. It's not a biggie. Let them get the function right first and let them spend time on the completely cosmetic things.
This reminds me of sidewalk prophet that yells at people walking by about their sins and the end of the world.
Very inconsistent transparency on backgrounds. Sometimes the folders and dock are clear, other times they are color matched but not transparent. On pano backgrounds with movement they are very transparent. One background even had no dock at all. Just floating app icons. Another had a slight transparency and a non pano background was just color washed out but not transparent.
I'm sure by final release it's going to be pretty slick. Wish I had better pano shots to use since the transparency in the folders and dock look pretty cool.

Still no "Tap to Tweet" or "Tap to Post" in Notification Center. I'd be surprised if they didn't include it by pubic release.
