Apple Launches New iOS Beta Testing Program, Seeds iOS 8.3 to Testers

For anyone who does have the beta, and has installed it. I'd be very curious to know if you can rate and leave a review for an app when you are using the beta.
I'm really hoping Apple has decided to limit this functionality for the betas, as it is a little unfair to rate or review an app poorly based on a beta OS.

Is anyone in the UK getting the link. Nothings showing here yet
Not showing for me in the UK.
Right, rolled in
Although it seems that half of apple world is leeching beta, as download speed is reeealy slow
also, here is direct link to enroll device, maybe it will help
https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/redemption#ios
Did this while in Safari on iPad and I see Enroll your Mac to receive beta updates to OS X Yosemite
According to 9 to 5 mac, it's rolling out slowly to everyone so will appear in the next hours. "Note: The program is still rolling out. A link to join the iOS program may not appear immediately upon registration"
According to TechCrunch, you have to be selected to participate in a random manner.
According to the verge, "It's worth nothing that we've so far been unable to access the iOS signup page, so it's unclear if Apple is limiting the beta to randomly selected users; the OS X program was first-come, first-served. Plenty of mentions of iOS are visible in the FAQ section, though. The link to sign up is here. If all you see is information on the OS X Yosemite program, you may be out of luck. We've pinged Apple for comment regarding just how it's handling the iOS beta."
Not sure what the deal is.

I just received an email invitation to participate.
I'm not sure if I want to install a beta in my devices, as I depend on them 100% every day.

I don't have the link on the page to download the iOS betas yet, but in the FAQ's there's lots of instructions about installing iOS beta's and getting back to public builds of iOS once beta periods end, etc.
So I think it'll appear soon enough.

Selected people will have it(this who sign up from the first day on on OS X).
I signed up on the first day for the OS X beta and don't have an iOS beta link.
I've got an email from apple:
"Thank you for participating in the OS X Beta Program. For the first time ever, we are broadening the program to include the all-new iOS Beta."
Same here, I keep checking my email, signing in and out of the site still no iOS beta link.
