VBR plays on any good mp3 player. Unless it's a very cheap mp3 player it will play VBR.

Apple and Cowon I know play VBR for sure. Since i have the nano and the A2. I use VBR for both of them.

Iriver, Sandisk and Creative play VBR

Add the iRiver, Sandisk and Creative lines to the players which play VBR files. Most "modern" players can handle VBR with no problem.
