    And how would you boot Ubuntu on your iPod ?

    Using iOpenBoot ?

    You would have to read every single doc about the system kernel and information so you could port it to run on iPod.

    You won't, at least now :p there no X proofed to work on iPhone OS device yet. Besides ARM version of Ubuntu distribution only limits support for few netbooks

    Just because you want it doesn't warrant a developer spending hours porting it to the iDevices...

    Seriously,, Ubuntu is designed for PC's. So why would you have it on your Iphone? Android is build for mobile phone's / PDA's etc.. so it's better to focus on android.
