The past 3 betas haven't been for me (I'm not a developer, so maybe there not for me anyway, but I don't give a toss *big smile*), iv found them slow, sluggish, unresponsive and very crash prone. THIS beta however, wow. It's blazing fast, the photos app is now completely stable (I can now scroll through my thousands of photos quickly!) and battery life seems to be perfect.

So glad the beta was delayed due the hacking, I don't think it would of been this smooth otherwise. I can safely start to use this as my main os now. Finally!
 
We don't know that it was delayed due to the hacking, today may of been the actual scheduled release date. Even if it was delayed, I doubt they would of done more work on it.
 
If there's anything pointing to anything it's that it was more likely set to be released today rather than a week ago and the whole hacking thing really didn't affect it one way or another.

Don't know if it means anything but the date on the ipsw file (for the iPad version, at least) is last Thursday, 7/25.

Could be just when they packaged it up for the last time or something else of that sort. Doesn't necessarily mean anything one way or another, but perhaps, if anything at all, only provides more "evidence" to the idea that beta 4 wasn't really planned for last Monday to begin with.
 
I'm sure you've been able to take an awesome, super accurate calculation of your battery life in the last four hours that it's even been out.

I have been able.

Next sarcastic assumption please...

I'm not a dev, don't be bothered about that though. There's plenty other things in this world you should be concerned about.
