I've harped on about it many times. There's no good reason presented to me yet that explains why this service can't be played on ALL smart phones and tablets in the UK. i.e. including Apple's iOS devices.

I'd be happy to have this limitation explained again.

The US doesn't have this issue - services such as Hulu and Boxee can target all smart phones and tablets with HTML5 web apps, (complying with the "no Flash please, we're Apple" stance.)

So is Virgin's "no VM Player on Apple devices" really a rights issue, or is it just technical, meaning that they don't want to implement changes to their web service?
