Can someone who's had access to these betas tell me what iOS 7 is like? Does it feel solid? What do you think of its design?
Wow, there's been thread after thread about this.
The good - Some of it fantastic - control center(long overdue), multipage folders, newsstand can be buried in a folder, cleaned up interface, parallax- useless but cool, text color and folder, transparency layers reflect your wallpapers dominate color and create a more custom unified interface. Jony Ive had referenced wanting to do this a couple of years agao- having the interface change based on the color of the phone/background.
The bad- The icons and color scheme are atrocious. Too much pastel. iOS has lost it's detailed sku'd icons that just begged to be touched to lifeless and dull icons. Other than that, not much else to not like.
Sounds like so far the OS has been a pile of glitches and bugs.
Not too bad really. I've run Beta 1,2,4 on my iPhone 4S and it's been pretty solid. Yes there have been glitches- but it's beta software, it's in development, not final release, that's part of the process.
Ok, so I installed the iOS 7 BETA 6, on my iPhone 4S but didn't synchronized any music, my question forum is... do I have to have the itunes beta 2 also to get all my music synchronized and apps on my iPhone? because I heard lots of people like me, not even able to sync their devices.
I've run beta 1,2,and 4 on my iPhone 4S(bought Nov. 2011) and it has never had an issue syncing on my Mac and PC.
Mind you, I have my music to sync set up in playlist and sync those, maybe that makes a difference? I'm sure it will be ironed out by final release.

Maybe someone whos trialling it could tell us if all their apps are still working?
As of BETA 4 all my apps worked perfectly fine.
