Re: Virgin Media Player - why on earth Flash?

It's not a whole other argument though - it's the flip-side of the same argument. Who exactly is bonkers here? Virgin, YouTube, the BBC and countless others, for building their online content delivery platforms around Flash, deviating from it only where necessary, or Apple, for deciding their mobile products were too good to have Flash on them?

I don't think Virgin is mad for choosing Flash. I think Apple is mad for barring it. The only thing left open to question here is why Virgin has not produced a version of its player for devices that don't support Flash - and there could be any number of commercial reasons why.
