Using that list I did find a few tweaks, no bugs.. I like the changes to safari and the reading list (a feature I have come to use pretty regularly and stopped using the third party read later apps entirely).
The maps app seems a bit more responsive on the new beta, and is improving, but I am still not used to their map drawings. I guess years of google maps has me ingrained about what a map is supposed to look like. I did create the web-google maps icon on the home screen, but the location services in it are not very good.
And while I don't think the beta fixed it, am pleased that The Daily is working again on my iPad.

Seems like they are really all in with the new maps, also have you tried beta.icloud.com? if not check that out for your notes and reminders and other goodies on the web.
I did not see that beta, but I like it. Not sure what is "beta" about calendar though, but I have really started to use the Notes tool - and will use it even more when Mountain lion comes out next week. Yet one more step towards total integration of services.
I don't use the reminders app much, but access the same reminder lists through BusyCal and Fantastical on my mac, and on my iPad as well
Now if they would just give us dropbox-like access to our documents in the cloud..
Good news is with the ios6 your music streams if you have itunes match, so that is one step closer as well 
No. Not at all. All app-specific. No ability to just have a folder structure of files you store in iCloud. I wish.

That is not new. I have had itunes match for a year. It still drives me a bit nuts though. I ripped a version of the new Green Day song released yesterday as streaming audio, and have had a helluva time getting it to upload to iCloud via itunes match.
And with the new car radio I have that lets me connect my iPhone via usb and control music through the console, it only sees the music that is local, and not in itunes match. I have pretty much just decided to not use itunes match on my iPhone, and just use it on my macs and iPad.
And of course right now itunes on iOS6 does not yet support downloading purchased items (outside of itunes match downloads).
In previous verisons of itunes match it would download the music as it streamed...so example would look like this
On your mac you rip your Green day cd, then leave, you grab your iphone and have ios5 loaded..go to music and see the greenday cd with the cloud logo, click on the song basket case and as it plays it downloads the track...with ios6 it will simply stream the music with a seperate setting to download, that way you dont need to take up local storage on the iphone with music...also I wonder with ios6 if you turn itunes match on now if your car wont see it, as It seems to be integrated like its on local storage..unless I am missing something and your car reads the local storage and not what the phone sends it.
Ok, got it. Agreed.
No, with itunes match on iOS6 the car only sees local music. The car does see all playlists (not local) from Spotify though. But you have to load spotify manually - and then can control it with forward/reverse/pause, etc...
BUT once you have itunes match on, there is no way to manually copy a song from itunes to it. You have to get it into the cloud first and then download it. Annoying. Particularly when it will not always upload stuff.
I have it on two computers and it seems I am ALWAYS getting errors on my imac at home, it asks me to sign out and sign back in...ggrrrrrrrr
Pages does, but only iWork apps. Not anything else. And its clunky, going to the web page and downloading the file.
I was just going to post that... Apple Just Removed The Default YouTube App With Latest iOS 6 Beta | Cult of Mac
Still can't get it to install on either of mine. Not sure if the campus network is funky.
