So where can I get the ipsw for an iPhone 4S?
Not that I'd be trying to install it today or anything...

iPhone 4 and up,iPad 2 and later and last gen iPod Touch(basically any device with 512MB of RAM or more)
Certain features are only compatible with the newer devices is my understanding
Are you sure? I finally load the site, but when you try to log in or anything. It shows a We'll be back soon page for me?
THE MAIN DEVELOPER PAGE IS NOW ACTIVE
all the links do not work as of yet
EDIT
THE MAVERIC PAGE NOW WORKS!
iOS 7 aswell
Enjoy!

iPad mini is A5 and so is the iPod Touch 5th gen and they're able of Air Drop,Air drop is restricted to devices launched in late 2012(those with the 5Ghz wifi antenna I think)
Alright, here's the deal. Lots of misinformation from both sides.
iOS 5 and iOS 6 both had a relatively smooth and stable beta process. It's likely that iOS 7 will continue this trend. I know I personally had zero major issues with either iOS 5 or 6, even in beta 1.
Either way, you are assuming a certain amount of risk by installing a beta version of iOS on your phone. Apple is not responsible for any data loss that may occur, nor are app developers responsible for fixing any bugs that pre-release iOS 7 users may experience. If you install iOS 7 beta 1, expect a very good, polished experience- but be prepared for bugs and app crashes everywhere. We just don't know at this point.
TL;DR- Install iOS 7 at your own risk. It's probably okay to use, but don't get upset if it isn't.

I really like the overall functionality and UI of iOS 7.
But they did a bad job with the icons, like really? Even I can do a better job at designing Flat UI icons. What were they thinking?
The icons that i cannot stand are:
-Photos
-Camera
-Reminders
-Stocks
-Newsstand
-Settings
-Safari
Also, did anyone else feel like the back arrow button in the UI was too big compared to the text?
These icons look like they were done years ago. Nothing modern about it. It's very much possible to make a modern looking minimal flat UI.
I beg every single developer to complain to Apple about the icons! Please share this with any developers you know who feel the same!

Also, are the wallpapers live? Like the Nexus ones?
