Handoff has never, ever worked for me on my 2012 iMac, until today with the GM. Yay!
For those running Windows, do you have to wait for iTunes 12 to install the GM?
UPDATE: Nevermind. I was able to do an Update to iOS 8.0 using iTunes 11.3.1.2 under Windows 7.

Anyone else having this issue: When I download 8 GM from developer.apple.com for A1533, iTunes immediately crashes when installing iOS 8. The iPhone 5S then goes into recovery mode and I can no longer open iTunes with the iPhone connected.

I understand there's a bug b/n iTunes 12 and Yosemite. Need to go back to iTunes 11.
I had no problem updating my iPad and iPhone using latest Yosemite DP on a late-2013 Retina MacBook Pro.
I just did an Update to 8.0 on my iPhone 5s (that was running 7.1.2) without any issues so far. I used the ipsw file for my phone with iTunes 11.3.1.2 under Windows 7.
Smooth scrolling:
Where did that go in safari on iOS 8 for iPhone.
This is no fun to use. Luckily in other apps it is still there. And I hope this is a bug. And next week resolved.
Battery life.... Two things I don't want in a GM..
Edit:
Even mail doesn't do smooth scrolling anymore. This brings back the RSI disease. Not content with this and hope it will be fixed. Typing feels slower as well.

Ah, yes I'm running 10.10 and iTunes 12 beta. I'll try another Mac still running iTunes 11. I had it stuck in my head that iOS 8 isn't compatible with iTunes 11, but that's not true. Fingers crossed.
Is it just as good to update through iTunes instead of restoring and then restoring from backup? I just updated through iTunes and it seems to have worked fine.
+1
It seems that "MacRumors" has more people who hate Apple and will never buy anything with an on it, than people who appreciate Apple's values.
Yes, Steve Jobs is dead, switch to Xiaomi, he's alive in China.
iOS 8 is amazing. Not as many new features as I'd like, but it still runs great. The icons still look like crap and there's no "Dark UI" mode like OS X Yosemite... but again, it looks great.
The nineth and tenth iPhones, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (stupid names, especially that "Plus" junk) are amazing but hideous. If only they could pack the battery life of the plus in to a 4.0" phone, that would be a no-brainer. I may end up getting the 4.7" model, but I'm not preordering this time.
The Apple Watch... I thought "iWatch" was a dumb name, but this is quite possibly worse. It made me laugh to see how they are marketing it like a Rolex too, which it obviously isn't. It doesn't matter who makes it, even if it is Apple, "smartwatches" aren't practical in most situations. Maybe someday, but not yet. They just allow us to be even more lazy than we already are by not having to reach into our pockets for our phones (or separate, oversized bags, if you have the iPhone 6 Plus or "iPhablet" as I hope people start calling it for humor's sake)
At this point in time, I won't be getting anything announced in the Keynote except iOS 8, which I already have. (I'm a legitimate developer, not some impatient law-breaking idiot like most people who have the betas) That being said, I might end up getting the iPhone 6 (not the Plus) later on when my contract expires if I decide to. Who knows, I might start wearing an actual, real watch again too if I feel like it... I don't mind grabbing my phone out of my pocket after all, and I don't need customizable watch faces like some kid.
The bottom line is this: despite how stupid most of their announcements from today were, and how stupid the even was in general from what I hear, (I didn't watch this one, first time I've missed in a long time... I pre-ordered Destiny and that was much more interesting than these announcements from Apple today) Apple did make some good decisions with the new iPhones and Apple Watch -- apart from the designs -- for the company and its future. There are still plenty of blind followers out there to buy a 128 GB iPhone 6 Pro and the most expensive Apple Watch on day one, and hopefully all this will get their stock to go up in value. (Fingers crossed) As for me though, unlike when the iPhone 5 came out and I was excited beyond belief to get a phone that wasn't so slow and crash-prone anymore as the iPhone 4 I had at the time was, my current iPhone is just fine and will continue to do its job well for another year at least and probably more.
You're welcome for one less competitor in getting a pre-order this year, by the way.

Wrong. Just...Wrong.
You need to be a *developer* and properly install Xcode 6 (GM) as well as iTunes 12..per the instructions given to developers on the developer site.
At which point you can install via iTunes 12 on Yosemite, per the instructions that all of us devs know

I didn't see an iTunes or Xcode dependency listed on the iOS dev page.
No problem installing iOS 8.0 GM seed on Mavericks+iTunes 11.4
