Quick question betas; I'm in need of more iCloud storage, are there any way for me to the the sweet pricing they announced on WWDC without the beta? Thanks!

edit: Apple's allegedly planning to offer storage plans that go all the way up to a full terabyte. However, the company hasn't disclosed what the pricing for those will be just yet, nor when they'll be available for users to purchase.

Actually it is known up to 200Gb (as mention at WWDC), what's not known is between that and 1Tb. Logically this will come into effect when iOS 8 is released. Hope that helps.

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but pinch with both thumbs from the edges to the center of your iPad screen in Safari and you'll enter the tab view. Pretty neat.

^^ Two finger pinch anywhere in Safari works for that. ^^

Not sure exactly how this happened, but I somehow ended up with a flat black keyboard while switching apps. It stayed until I rebooted.

Rounded window corners

on iPad, windows have rounded corners again.
like pre-ios 7, popup windows like mail composition have rounded corners.
 
Accessibility/Speech has an option to read entire screen with two-finger swipe down from top. When you use it, you get a mini panel for control. Once it starts reading, you can navigate away, including the Home Page or other apps.

BTW, can't say I'm impressed with the "Alex" voice. I don't think it "delivers natural sounding speech" unless you're talking about a natural robot who isn't too good at English.

My number 1 feature made it! Hey, Siri! Can't believe nobody is talking about this.

Seriously! It's so unbelievably convenient with Xbox One you get spoiled when you can't use hands free controls at anytime! Especially when cooking or carrying things and you can't touch your phone/headset/remote etc.! This is going to be a major improvement when charging your phone and doing other activities around the room. Integration with HomeKit and this is going to be amazing - changing lights, volume, temperature, unlocking doors, setting alarms, etc. all 100% hands free, automated and instant.
