Neverthless, ipods are popular and Fedora probably has reasonably good 
support for ipods since the upstream developer involved with library 
support is a Fedora maintainer. It does take some time in between a 
latest hardware   release to actually supporting it. This is the time it 
takes to reverse engineer and figure out what has changed. It is usually 
much faster in cases where the vendor is co-operative and provides the 
specs or even takes part in driver development as even AMD and Atheros 
does for their 3D chipsets these days.

Linux actually has the broadest hardware support out of the box among 
any operating system in the market.
