iOS7 is simply WOW! i can never think of using iOS6 again. O apple! you should have done this long time ago. never mind, my iphone doesn't feel boring and outdated anymore.
You can only share notes, you can't have shared notes with someone. Reminders you can't even share. But it would be a nice feature to have!
While she's nowhere near perfect, I wouldn't say Apple has done nothing. They've integrated Wikipedia and twitter and added the ability to change some system services and some nifty features like playing a voicemail. Although, the ability to toggle Bluetooth and wifi with the new control center makes those features a little useless for Siri.
That is new! When I said "Launch browser" safari opened, however when I said "Launch maps" I got a choice.
The thing is, I thought it worked like this; get a Notification, Disregard it from 'all' by pressing 'X' but not view the source if it. Then it goes to missed. It doesn't work that way. In fact. All the notifications from 'all' seem to got into 'missed' and will stay there until dismissed by either pressing 'X' or viewing it.
Also, after playing with it for quite some time, it seems like iOS 7 beta 1 runs almost like Android JB in that the animations are weirdly rendered and takes time to do so. Looks like Google likes shipping Beta products to their customers. ^_^
Yes, they are the same thing.
No, you don't have to hold it down to get it to work. Just one tap as before.
I think the "missed" tab shows notifications that occurred when your phone is locked.
Right. The "I" in a circle takes place of the blue circles with arrows system wide.
The option for Create New Gesture is there in iOS6 as well. Has it changed in some way?
So just installed the beta. Found a bug already. I cannot accept the certificate from my university's wifi network. Clicking accept simply does not work.
Settings > General > Usage > Music > Delete App Data
Of course it currently says Delete App but it still only deletes the app data.
I don't know if Music deletes streamed songs after a period or not but it definitely uses storage space when streaming even after the song has been stopped.

I believe Music will delete streamed songs if your phone starts to run out of storage.
Also, I believe a faster way to delete your cache of streamed music is to simple turn iTunes Match off in settings, then back on again.
Ya it's quite interesting.....I just tried on iOS 6. Saying "launch maps" sends me to Apple's app, while specifying "launch Google maps" sends me to Google's.
I guess with iOS 7 Siri, you can be a little more general and it will give you the options up front before launching you into Apple's default.
I have a question for people in the US: Can you ask Siri to play an iTunes radio station for a specific artist/genre?
Thanks
No, Siri cannot do iTunes Radio actions yet.
Like I said...the cloud visual seems to be an error. From Apple's website:
Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you dont have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.

You can have Siri play a radio station. You have to say the exact title of the station for it to work. "Play (NAME) Radio" works for me.

Try resetting all setting, or network settings..

What happens if you power cycle your phone? Does the phone clear you "streamed" music at that point?
It does not.
Incidentally, shutting down is the same but the UI is really clever. As you slide to the right or left the top and bottom of the screen black out leaving it looking widescreen. Once you release both black bars expand towards the center to meet (kind of like shutting off an old tube tv).
thanks... i guess youre right, but you really have to aim for that small circle.
