Well going off the poll results so far, it seems that most people are in favor of Virgin selling the iPhone at least. I can see why most people aren't that bothered about the iPad as it is quite pricey and not much use as a phone but I have an interest in it as I make my own music and there are some fantastic apps out there for it (for example Korg's iElectribe which is essentially a virtual ESX-1 sampler/drum machine for just £11.99 when a proper hardware version costs about £300, absolute bargain!).

I know that there is a lot of debate over whether the iPhone is any better than other smart phones out there but I think Apple's app service is what draws me to them more and more. I only have an iPod Touch at the moment but I do use quite a few apps so I have been tempted to get an iPhone but have been mainly put off by the price.

I keep getting mailings from Virgin with various mobile offers and free handsets and they all seem pretty good but I think if Virgin offered the iPhone/iPad then I would be more likely to take them up on an offer.
