iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan Public Beta is available now

Anyone interested in previewing Apple's still unfinished and in-development iOS or Mac OS software can sigh up for the Apple Beta Software Program. This allows early builds of the upcoming OS's which are slated for a Fall release.

As with most beta software, users are advised to back-up their devices and urged to install the beta software on devices they don't depend on for critical work or personal use.
