You can now close all the tabs in Safari on iPad. In Beta 2, you could only close all but 1 tab. Now, if you only have 1 tab open, you can close it and it'll bring you back to your favorites page.
I couldn't find this at first. But then I realized it works like it used to work in the iOS 6 Multitasking Tray. Whatever you choose your side switch to do, the other function goes in Control Center. Very Nice!
I like iOS7, but man, I cannot stand the horrible yellow reverse embossed font in notepad, which I use a lot. Tell me I am not the only one who feels this way.
Set he "bold text" under settings>general>acessibility to "off" and you get the thinner font again... Attaching pics below of the difference... I have set the text size to third smallest instead of the normal...
What is this dictionary everyone is talking about...?

I see what you mean... But I feel its the difference in colour playing tricks... Which is very possible...
On iPad (I have iPad 2 so can't comment on Siri or airdrop):
- on all search boxes, the text saying search is centred, until you tap on it, then it moves to the left.
- the headers (today|all|missed) in notification centre match the background better
- calendar view in NC has been squashed down a bit
- downloading / installing apps has new animation
- the straight / line progress bar is thicker (the one used for loading webpages in Safari); the circle progress bar is still thin - it's not hard to see where it's thicker and where it's thinner, it's just that it looks horrid on a non-retina display.
- when you swipe on an email / reminder / note etc. you get the option of 'more' as well as 'trash'; if you tap on 'more' it'll show you everything you can possibly do with it - and I mean everything.
Safari:
- bookmarks bar now shows up
- iCloud icon is bigger
- you can close the last tab that is open, which will take you to your favourites
Notes:
- The currently selected note on the left has a dark yellow highlight, instead of grey.
Messages:
- scrolling animation is smoother / more refined
- there's a new animation when sending a message; the box comes up from the bottom and 'picks up' the text, then it 'wobbles' to the right.
- when you press contact, there are icons rather than text, saying FaceTime, audio and info.
Clock:
- each clock says how far behind it is from your location*
- when scrolling through to the next page of clocks, the clocks can move up and down as well as side to side; I think its a bug.
Calendar:
- When scrolling through the years in year view, each years will 'snap' so it shows the whole years without cutting any months off.
- small differences when in day view
In iTunes / App Store:
- there are icons at the bottom now, not just text (when selected they go blue, but when you highlight / tap on some they change to a different icon; I think it's a bug)
- purchased and genius still use old interfaces (grey gradients), which doesn't fit in (only iTunes)
Photos:
- Albums still look like stacks of photos, but it's impossible to tell depth / how many in that stack, as each photo is not offsetted or have any shadows (only if all photos same aspect ratio)
Music:
- still looks like scaled up iPhone app
- has a now playing view, with a large view of album artwork
- can rate songs
Settings
- everything is slightly bigger, due to text size increase, but it's most notable in Settings.

4 glitches I noticed:
1) I can't delete multiple photos from my photo stream at once anymore.
2) transparency issues with the navigation bar above the keyboard (see attached screenshot)
3) the status bar icons/time/battery stay visible during full screen video playback.
4) hold-to-select while inputting text makes the screen scroll like crazy (this was also there in beta 2 and hasn't been fixed).

Didn't it always say this, if I'm not mistaken? And if there are any subtle changes design-wise or whatnot would you mind uploading a pic?
Thanks in advance.
