I've also been on their forums, a lot of people there appear to be thickheaded (even the skyfire team).

Basically, the way Skyfire works is you are doing a remote desktop connection to their servers, and you are just getting an image of the webpage on your device. As far as Beta 2 vs Beta 1, it's the same software version, only difference is Beta 1 folks got in earlier.

That's funny cuz it works for me. I make sure that the volume on the device it turned all the way up, make sure that the volume on skyfire is not muted, zoom in to the maximum level on the slider, then use the arrow drag control to move the volume button to the right.

Mind you, you don't click and drag. You must click to the far right side of the slider and it will move it to the position at the point of the arrow. It's a little tricky but can be done. I managed to do it with my finger nail but would probably be easier with the stylus.

That's what I initially thought! But look closer.. when you open Skyfire there's a version number. Beta 1 users will show 0.50.**** or earlier, while Beta 2 will show 0.61.4721. Have a look for yourself

So obviously some things were changed.
