OTA update stuck on "preparing update." I guess a restore to the new build is in my future
It takes a long time on that part. its normal.
Maps has huge issues with DC addresses
Maps have huge issues with DC addresses, maybe other cities as well?
Try and put in "100 M ST NW, Washington DC" and you get back some crazy location. Seems to not be able to correctly parse addresses with one letter? (conjecture, I'm not sure exactly what the issue is)

I love the little rotating gears.
It doesn't take much to make us happy ;D
EDIT: I just successfully updated to beta 2 without a udid OTA (what I was doing during the video) :3
I don't have that problem at all. Just typed in exactly what you said and got this.
[edit] nvm..got an address in Virginia.

Match update
I had trouble in Beta 1 with getting iTunes Match to stay logged on. Once I could get it connected and my library info downloaded, it seemed to work okay, but getting there took a while (and a good/stable wifi connection). Beta 2 still took some repeated effort to get it connected, but it did eventually connect. The nice part of the Beta 2 update though is that it now shows you that it's downloading the library info from iCloud and gives a status bar with the download/processing. Before this, the only indicator I had that it was doing anything was the wifi data transfer indicator. This is quite helpful if you have a large library that takes a long time to load.

STOP. it hangs on preparing to update for a while but it will work
Maybe, but I sincerely doubt this kind of piracy troubles Apple. Let's not forget how Apple originated and the time Jobs had his team fly the pirate flag on Apple's campus.

Can someone tell me how stable these beta builds are. Last time i updated my iPod Touch to iOS 5 beta and games were crashing like anything and i had to restart iPod Touch once in a day at least , by iOS beta 4 or beta 5 it became pretty stable . So comparing to that hows iOS beta 6 . I am curious to update but i want to play games as well
Do the maps seem to show more street names at different view levels. One of my first issues was that it barely showed any street names when zoomed out. It seems better now.
Is it safe to leave my iPhone on "preparing update", take it with me on a bike ride, and update in the middle of the ride? Or does it need to be connected to the power?
Edit: Nevermind, it's making progress. I guess I can delay my ride a bit.

It's impossible to update via OTA. I have tried it during 1 hour and it says that no new updates are available, and I use iOS 6 beta 1
I'm still having issues doing an OTA update, it keeps failing. It'll get down to 2 Minutes Remaining then stop and give me an error.
