No, not really. If iOS 6 was GM, I could see it being of some value.
It's useful for two reasons:
1) Some people might update to iOS 6 and find that an app they really need doesn't work.
2) People can keep track of when/if these apps are updated to make them compatible.
1) this beta was meant for developers only so if its on a personal device and an app doesn't work that sounds like a personal problem to me, not an iOS 6 problem
2) why would developers update an app to work with a beta... let alone the FIRST beta
EDIT: op needs to at least put BETA 1 in the title

First iOS 6 is not even released yet. The beta should not be used to judge which apps will work when it is released. Don't you think the developers will make sure their apps work by then?
Second the purpose of these builds are to make sure developers have their own apps prepared for the release, not so the average end user can torrent the OS and play with it before it is released. It is not fair to judge apps that don't work based on a beta OS. Trust me developers know if their apps work.
In what way is any of what I said incompatible with your two points?
Because people are judging apps based on a beta OS. There might be as much as 5 betas until GM. Developers can't even submit apps based on anything in iOS 6. Bitching because an app does not work will fall on deaf ears until it is released.

As much as 5? iOS5 had 9 before GM if I remember correctly.
The grounds for the OS is there. If it works with Beta1, it'll work with Beta 20. I wouldn't get on a forum and complain too much until you fully comprehend how things work. You're not painting yourself in the best light...
This thread would be more appropriate after the release as a reminder to those developers who need to fix their apps. Not before it is released.
Developers get these betas to fix their Apps before iOS 6 gets released to the public, that's the whole purpose.
Yes, I understand that. I guess I am not making my point clear. Developers know if their apps work on iOS 6 already. They installed it from the developer center and tested their own apps. Now if it does not work they are currently working to make sure it is ready for launch. There is no need to list those that work and those that don't.
I'm just saying there is not reason to wait until launch. If it's ready, release it. I guess the only reason they wouldn't is that they don't feel the obligation to provide support to beta users, because betas are not meant for the broader public.
