Wow!
In another post you say something about evidence showing it's the browser's fault and not the sites.
we recommend the following browsers.....
Safari 3 or later
Firefox 2 or later
I'm no "Linux root user". I don't even play one on TV but, even I can tell that is a page redirect by the SITE and not something your browser generated.
Why would you think your browser would tell you to use someone else's?

Isn't the answer blatantly obvious? Apple hate freedom
Firefox 3 on Fedora 8 gives this:
Maybe apple just don't support Linux, period.
As mentioned many times already, changing the browser won't stop Apple giving you a big, fat F-You. Just another reason to boycot anything made by Apple.
The only good apple is a Braeburn

There is one fatal error in the web page: They say "We recommend"... when they are actually saying "We force you...".
If they did just "recommend" then you should have option to "continue anyway...". I do not see that option in that page.

Code:
function addBrowserNametoBody() {
var body = SC.window;
body.addClassName(SC.Platform.Browser.toLowerCase());
if (SC.Platform.isWindows) {
body.addClassName('windows');
} else if (SC.Platform.isMac) {
body.addClassName('mac');
}

I see a 'continue' button right on the page. What happens if you click it?

I think that may be intended to let you roll on by with an ''inferior'' browser; but there's a bug which stops it from working that way.
And if this is JS trapping at fault, rather than server-side
UA-sniffing, then of course it's bypassable. (I don't have an account, know much JS, or much of anything else relevant to this thread, so I'm probably out for now... good luck, all!)

Solution:
Change UA string to firefox 3 (annoying)
or
Run Firefox 3, iceweasel, fennec on the tablet.
