You can't blame Virginemedia because Google constantly makes changes to its operating system Android. Android is a fragmented mess of an operating system.

The problems google make Android, then the different phone manufacturers have to butcher it to make it run on crappy £50 phones an the app makers have to update their apps. The Google update it again, an half the apps stop working. Less then 10% of Android phones even run on Jellybean, most are still on gingerbread. So everyone crying for a android version probably won't be able to run it if virgin build it to run on jellybean.
And yet TiVo have had a US app out since January. Of last year. App developers all over the world cope with a fragmented os and differing screen sizes.

Besides which, Virgin were confident enough that they could do it that they said they'd have it out in the first part of this year. Target missed and not a hint of an update.

Sorry, but whilst I see your point, genuinely, I have to agree that it simply isn't good enough, and is made worse by the fact that Virgin only sell android handsets. The very people they're letting down are their own quad pay customers.
