iOS 7 will be available on September 18 for the iPhone 4 and later, the iPad 2 and later, the iPad mini, and the fifth-generation iPod touch.

"iOS 7 is completely redesigned with an entirely new user interface and over 200 new features, so it's like getting a brand new device, but one that will still be instantly familiar to our users," said Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering. "Next month we'll be shipping our 700 millionth iOS device, and we're excited about what our hundreds of thousands of iOS developers are doing to bring great new features to their apps."Apple also announced that iOS 7 will support the new 64-bit technologies introduced with the iPhone 5s, with all built-in apps re-engineered for 64-bit and iOS 7 will support both 32-bit and 64-bit apps.

Anyone knows if the GM seeds usually could be installed without UID check?

I'm not even going to update my iPod Touch.
Um, thanks for letting us all know.
yeah, sure, 100% more bits, or so.
but why? will there be any device in the near future w/ 4Gig or more RAM?
It's not just bigger memory addressing, you also get a wider datapath. Certain kinds of 64-bit applications, such as video encoding/decoding, will actually run faster just being 64-bit.

Unless your IPod Touch is a 5th Generation Device, it's NOT update able anyways.

The sooner they release iOS 7, the better... Not because I plan to download it when it is released, but because the sooner they release it, the sooner they will come out with the first bug fix that will squash many of the most problematic bugs, which is what I plan to download. :)
That's the truth there. Usually takes 1-2 releases to get it stable.
