iOS 6 Beta for Developers Now Available

I'm getting the same even though I'm part of the dev program. My carrier is Sprint. I did a restore and not an update.
I ran a restore and keep getting the activation failure. How do I 'update' from iTunes? When I connect the iPad to my Mac, iTunes simply displays an iPad logo where it would usually give me the iPad info. (see attached image)

Hit "alt/options" button and click update in iTunes.... Thou it will not solve your activation problem. I was on the phone with both developer support and apple care - their activation servers down for at least 24 hours.
I'm getting (despite my device being already added to iOS Provisioning portal) your device is not registered as a developer device..... worked fine during iOS 5 beta
Added my 4S to my dev account an hour ago and am getting a "Device is not registered as part of the iPhone Developer Programme" but it is!
Any ideas?
EDIT: Never mind! It's ok!

It has turn by turn. It has been significantly upgraded since iOS5. What they did was to make it look just like the iPhone4s Turn by Turn but instead you have to swipe from one location to another. No voice, just new graphics.
Also looks like 3D is not enabled on the 4 vs the 4s. I noticed with the Maps app comes up it has the button for 3D but then disappears.
Another feature :
In mail, you can pull down to update. It has a little update button (circle) but as you pull down it stretches.
(oops gotta run)
Managed to *finally* activate!
It's restoring from an iCloud backup now! Knew I should have deleted those 1gb+ videos and re-backed up.....!

Updated my iPhone 4 and maps is working with turn-by-turn directions so I guess you don't need a 4S for that.
Don't know about voice prompts yet cuz I'm not actually driving.
Street-view maps for contacts are gone, of course.
Now you just get a satellite view.
Kinda neat but not too helpful.

Isn't that interesting. Did you install the version for iPhone 4S (or did you install the version for iPhone 4)? Does Siri also work on your phone?
working great on my "backup" iphone4s . not too bugy at all. only thing I found so far is , when in a call, if you put the phone away from your ear, the screen still stays black. just gotta push home button.
has anybody done this on their ipad? I wanna do it to mine , but I use mine for work all the time and don't wanna risk anything

does any1 have an idea why I just cant restore iOS6 on the new iPad with 4G (bought in Europe), I have tried both the iPad 3,2 & iPad 3,3 ipsw file (I've DEV acc btw).
it says "ipad could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible".
Thank you!

I've upgraded to iOS6, and have now restored back to 5.1.1.
Personally I'm not the biggest fan of the new Maps app. I guess I'm a little peeved that Flyover and turn-by-turn are only available on the 4S. No reason why turn-by-turn can't work.. Especially if TomTom runs on it.
No traffic data yet either, but of course without turn-by-turn, that's a bit useless.
The DND feature is kind of neat, but this year it's not worth the upgrade game every beta for the features it offers.
Perhaps its time to do as Apple wants and trade up the old 4 for the next gen iPhone when it's released.
Anyone else slightly disappointed? Don't get me wrong, iOS is great, and I'm completely happy with 5. Was just hoping for a LITTLE more.. Like push mail on ANY account.
