Airplay 2 July software update

Nothing more than an unverified rumour.

No mention of what audio codecs it supports? I'm guessing that does not bode well.

Who is this product for?

edit: just saw on the product page "Sonos Beam plays audio from PCM stereo, Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital 5.1 sources. These are the most popular audio formats for streaming video on demand and watching TV. "

In addition you cannot pair individual front-speakers. This is an absolute waste of a product launch.

Not true, they said it in the conference.

Sonos Beam is a more compact speaker and can fit almost anywhere. Playbar and Playbase have more speakers, so they produce louder sound with more width and bass. Beam is perfect for small to mid-sized rooms, whereas Playbar and Playbase are capable of filling large spaces.
