Tis the second letter of the greek alphabet.

It is also a trial version of unfinished computer software used for testing.

Here is what answers.com says:

beta
Used in software publishing, "beta" is the name given to a pre-release version of a software product. This beta version is used for testing purposes, is often problematic and thus only available to specific users who are encouraged to provide feedback for improvement. Beta versions are commonly found on company websites and can be downloaded. Many include expiration dates to eliminate proliferation of flawed software.
