I've thought of joining the beta program, but don't want to compromise my primary device. I don't have a separate device to test on. Plus, I don't use iTunes on my computer so can't restore anything if something goes wrong. Hats off to the beta testers though for the hard work you put in and the bugs you report. No one can get it all, but great work on what is reported.
