I'm going off of everything I scavenge from the announcement, based on screenshots and official releases, so I can't tell you right now, but once people download the beta i'm sure a flood will come in saying wether you can or not. However, considering Newsstand is now an app, I would bet on being able to put it in a folder.
Love it!! Can't wait to give it a try out. Love the look of everything. It's a long overdue UI overhaul and I think personally apple did a amazing job of it.
iOS has always had quicklook (that's how we see attachments in email messages before opening them in another app, like goodreader or iphoto, photos, etc). are there new enhancements to quick look?
very nice overhaul...a fresh, colorful take on the old and used system! and for sure a lot of us welcome the many improvements that mimic the success of multiple jailbreak tweaks!
with that said, I think it is safe to say that we all are left wanting for ONE of the most wanted feature: the introduction of bitesms's full capabilities (QuickReply), which is sadly not here yet.........

Apple wisely made the icons look feminine with some pastel colors and nothing edgy or masculine.
They really know their target market. It's also one of the reasons the phone sells so well. It's tiny, shiny, so the girls and women can accessorize the heck out of an iphone. That's what women love to do, the choices across the spectrum of iPhone accessory companies is mind boggling.
As far as how iOS 7 functions, only time will tell how that goes. I'd guess it will be smooth and easy to use, hallmarks of "it just works". Once again, very appealing to the ladies. Apple's got to be very happy with this style.
I really like the overall functionality and UI of iOS 7.
But they did a bad job with the icons, like really? Even I can do a better job at designing Flat UI icons. What were they thinking?
The icons that i cannot stand are:
-Photos
-Camera
-Reminders
-Stocks
-Newsstand
-Settings
-Safari
Also, did anyone else feel like the back arrow button in the UI was too big compared to the text?
These icons look like they were done years ago. Nothing modern about it. It's very much possible to make a modern looking minimal flat UI.
I beg every single developer to complain to Apple about the icons! Please share this with any developers you know who feel the same!

Also, are the wallpapers live? Like the Nexus ones? And what features will the iPhone 4S not receive?

It will have Live Wallpapers...from what I saw. And I know that the iPhone 4S wont receive AirDrop

took the words right out of my mouth
Damn, how come the 4S is omitted from using AirDrop? Does it have something to do with the antenna?

I think it will be added in later betas or even a 7.x update. If its on OS X you can be sure its coming to iOS
It's definitely an improvement over iOS 6, but...
-the icons aren't great, especially safari and mail.
-some things seem to be all the same size, or too big. Like the bottom bar in safari - all the icons are a bit too big; and, for example, in messages if you're viewing a specific conversation in the top left there's a button to go back and the top right you can 'contact' them, those in my opinion are too big in comparison to the middle text -- there needs to be some scaling down of some elements to make them seem 'less important' than the middle 'title'. The size of the 'icons' in the bottom bar of the music app is good; in safari...not so good.
-the transparency looks good in some areas, but not others.
-he kept on mentioning layers, but I think there needs to be layering inside the apps; there needs to be more contrast between the top bar / bottom bar and the app 'panel' (the middle bit).
But apart from that (and the lack of widgets and live icons), I'm really liking the new interface.

Any chance Apple is going to have an iOS Theme store? This way I could redesign some of the app icons i don't like without jailbreaking.
Yeah figured as much, but was still hopeful. Sigh. Looks like the only reason i'll be jailbreaking is to change the icon design.
