I'm probably not going to bother upgrading until some app I absolutely need requires iOS 7.
So much has changed in the OS that I suspect there will be tons of little annoying bugs. Best to let them all get worked out.

"A lot of changes" is not a recipe for the kind of stability one would hope for.
Beta 6, new icons I hope! I mean, the current icons are not terrible, but the Safari icon is just horrid. Please Apple, make me happy, redesigned icons please.
I need to know when that update will be ready so I can coordinate my efforts to remind my mother and anyone else who is not into shiny but worse usability not to upgrade. If my mother updates her iPhone the next day I will be getting calls about why it looks funny, where she should be tapping, and how to just bring back the interface she is accomstomed to.
Apple - now hype over use.

You can absolutely do this. Pull the screen down when viewing an artist so that you can select "Shuffle All Songs" at the top of the screen.
No, but you won't need a paid developer account to install the GM. Never have, as far as I know.I've installed the last 2 GMs without a paid account. Beta 5 of iOS 7 too.

I like iOS 7 but they completely ruined the Music app, which was used to be one of the best mobile apps ever (not just for music). It was polished, intuitive and had a lot of functionality just one tap away. Now, not so much:
- Artist letter scroll is gone
- Album and artist view has huge album covers at each item, making it a scrolling festival
This makes navigating a lot more difficult.
I really wish they'd keep it iOS 6 style with an iOS 7 look.

Your mother is probably smarter than you give her credit for. She can probably spell "accustomed" correctly.
iOS 7 is much, much better than iOS 6. It's fast and yes intuitive.
Why do people complaining about the usability of iOS 7 always mention OTHER people having POSSIBLE issues with it? Never themselves, always those OTHER people who aren't smart enough to figure it out. Riiiiight.
Guest Accounts on IOS 7
Has anyone realized that Apple needs to make guest accounts for iPads? If your kid wants to use your iPad you don't want them going through all of your stuff! This is such a basic thing to do that Apple needs to get on top of.

Ya, a friend of mine knows this guy, who knows this other guy, that works with someone that said iOS 7 is going to suck...
It gets old doesn't it?
download google chrome
surf your porn in chrome and keep the icon hidden somewhere
or better yet, only download chrome to surf porn and then delete it
What are you talking about? Just tap on the letter (or scroll down the letters), and you're at N or V or whatever.
I like the album covers. Images are recognized faster than words, so it speeds up finding albums or artists for me. Anyway, with inertial scrolling, is flicking to scroll very fast REALLY that hard?
Private browsing in the iOS 7 Safari is way more convenient. NOT THAT I SURF PORN ON MY IPAD.

The new Music app really is horrible. Far too much scrolling is necessary when you have artists with multiple albums on your device.
Or even multiple users. It's annoying to not have a simple way to have a way for different people to check separate accounts for email or Facebook or whatever (iPad in particular).
