With Monday's release of iOS 7 beta 2, the next-generation operating system is now available for developers to test for the first time on the iPad and iPad mini.
iOS 7 is compatible with the iPad mini, third- and fourth-generation iPads with Retina displays, and the iPad 2. Unsurprisingly, its appearance is largely identical to its counterparts on the iPhone and iPod touch.
Here, AppleInsider offers a peek at what iOS 7, in its current beta form, looks like when running on the iPad.
While Apple appears to have no plans to revive its former AirPort routers, the networking know-how that powered them may be returning — via a new chip that will add similar functionality to the company's home devices like the HomePod mini.

That keyboard is just butt ugly. If I wanted a frosted glass table top which that keyboard depicts I'd buy coffee tables with that look.
Just as I suspected...
Really hoping some if the icons are also still in beta. :(

I don't see what the point of this kind of design trickery.
It replicates the 3D shelves with gradients and squares, but the shelves are still there. If the shelves are still there, why not just let them be shelves? Why try to pretend that they aren't there when they obviously are?
I hated the old wooden shelves, but while these are more attractive, WHY DO WE NEED VIRTUAL SHELVES AT ALL?
Why not just a simple grid of book covers, just like iTunes grid of album covers? F*ck the shelves.
Anyone think the bar at the bottom of the home screen looks like the taskbar in windows 7? I like the current one in iOS 6 better I think. But everything else looks nice. It's hard to tell from pictures what it will be like
