Installed it within an hour of the keynote finishing. Outside of obvious beta 1 for a brand new x.0 iOS issues, it's pretty solid. Everything works with the occasional app crash to the Home page (depending on the app of course)

Some things are incomplete and need tweaking. But similar issues also apply to iPhones in iOS 10 beta 1 as well.

I can't reallly add anymore to that except what lagwagon, really suprsied it's stable so far (but it could change in future betas). There are some squirks. Like it takes a while to rotate from landscape to portrait (and vice versa) and often have to turn the screen off and on for it to get it going on.

A few app crashes, but nothing too major.

Yes, the Apple Pencil works no worries for me.

Yea I've got it running in mine too! All seem pretty stable, with a few hiccups here and there.
Just wish that a few substantial features were made for the pros!

I've had the sluggish rotations as well. Sometimes it gets stuck and i have to reboot. Just the usual beta niggles.

The new wigdets layout and design could probably do with some refinement as it looks pretty odd, especially across two columns.

Split view safari and 3-column Notes are OK but I'd typically use Safari+Chrome and OneNote so they aren't major benefits to me.

TBH it's fairly sparse in changes although there is time for that to change.... and I'd really appreciate a better split view task selector than the current massive long list.

Thought about loading it, but I think I'll wait for things to be a little closer to the release to let things stabilize a bit more.

Yeah seriously that list view is really bad. Even if the stuck with a list view like they have and simply compressed the items to resemble something like the settings screen it would be a lot better.

Opening up to a spotlight search with the most recent apps used being listed would be a pretty good way to go I think.
