We recently showed you how to get iOS 7 for your iPhone and with this article we will show you how to get iOS 7 beta 2 for your IPad and iPad Mini.

The iOS 7 beta is meant for registered Apple developers and there is no way to use this beta without registering the iPad or iPad mini with a developer account. Users who wish to avoid the $99 iOS Developer fee can register their device with a third-party for about $8.

The official iOS 7 release date is set for the fall, and will likely arrive a few days ahead of an iPhone 5S release. The video below shows some of the features of iOS 7 on the iPad.

Before any installation takes place make sure your iTunes is updated to the latest version. You will also need to register your device's UDID with IMZDL.

The official way to get the iOS 7 beta is to join the Apple Developer program for $99 a year. This allows you to register 100 devices to try the iOS 7 beta and to test apps. This is designed for developers, but Apple does not kick you out if you don't create an app. Even users that go this route should be sure they can live with a buggy iPad as the iOS 7 beta is not finished software.

After registering your UDID to IMZDL you will want to download the iPad iOS 7 beta file from IMZDL.

The iPad IOS 7 beta download files are available in the Apple Developer section for registered developers. Users can sign in and download the corresponding iOS 7 beta 2 files for the iPad and iPad mini.

IMZDL tweeted that they will have the current iPad files for download.
