GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! Beta 2 is out!
 
Mountain Lion Dock finally? Oh, sorry, wrong year.

But seriously, please start posting screenshots! :D
 
How stable is Beta 2 for you?

So far, it seems fine. But beta 1 was also pretty stable for me. Its only been about 20 minutes, but no issues yet.

My battery went from 98% (before updating) to 92% (after updating), and with 20 minutes of constant usage, its only dropped to 90%. It hasn't been an extensive period, but so far, the battery does seem improved.
 
Are there new arrows next to the "Slide to Unlock" on the lock screen to avoid the confusion some people had before? Any other cosmetic changes?
 
On the lock screen, could you scroll through the song when music is playing in Beta 1? The timeline shows up on the top of the lock screen with a super skinny line that shows where you are in the song. I couldn't tap and hold it in Beta 1 but finally grabbed it in Beta 2. This is one of my gripes about the new UI where there are super skinny minimalist lines that are hard to tap/hold. Its still very difficult to tap/hold and I usually end up swiping to unlock instead.
 
New start up screen, white with black apple logo
Had that on beta 1

Worked for me on beta 1

Also one of my gripes but I think the way the text "lights up" is supposed to indicate what direction you're supposed to swipe. I think the "slide to power off" is especially confusing for someone who is new to iOS. Nothing has changed in beta 2 though.
 
The music player in Control Center is fixed. In beta 1, the play button did not change to a pause button when activated. It does now.

I'm also getting notifications for incoming mail for folders other than my Inbox (like folders in my Gmail that have different rules). Its a nice change, but I wish there was a way to customize notifications per folder, rather than per account.
