The second release of Apple's iOS 7 has landed for mobile developers in Apple's iOS developer center. As promised, the beta now offers support for the iPad, which the first release of the operating system didn't.

iOS 7 beta 2 supports all versions (cellular and Wi-Fi) of the iPad except for the original version. The release includes the discontinued third generation iPad and the iPad Mini. All versions of the iPhone and iPod Touch that were supported in the original iOS 7 release are also available in beta 2.
