Hey RobG, you will notice some anxious coders who do this purposely (not
just because they are thinking of having a different version for the regular
browser).  They catch the useragent string and if it is not the iphone or
itouch then they wil redirect you to a different page.  They are anxious of
course that you may "leverage" their code.  And you are right - it is
totally the opposite of what this is all about, but it is their choice.

And here is a tip ;) if you want to see the code just change the user agent
string for your browser - it is very simple to do and will tell the site in
particular that your browser is an iphone / itouch.  You can find
instructions on the web (really just one quick change).

If you need details just let me know.

Why does that site refuse access to those not using an iPhone or iPod
Touch?  The whole point of the web is to be utterly UA agnostic,
making browser-specific sites will put the internet back 10 years or
so.

I'd like to at least investigate and understand the issue, if only you
realised that it doesn't require an iPhone or iPod Touch to fix the
vast majority of browser-related issues.
