Canonical Ltd., commercial sponsor of Ubuntu Linux, says it's porting Ubuntu to the ARM RISC processor architecture. Ubuntu on ARM will target netbooks and other emerging device categories requiring a "rich, always-connected, mobile computing experience, without compromising battery life." The ARM version of Ubuntu, due next April, initially will support the ARMv7 RISC architecture, including SoCs (system-on-chip processors) based on ARM Ltd's Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 cores.

I might as well add that Google Maps for PalmOS 2.0.2.0 works just fine in the Garnet VM on the 770, and seems to be able to link via wifi just fine.
It's only real advantage is the ability to interact with the GVM address book -- and maybe also the traffic overlay. Otherwise, Maemo Mapper kicks its butt three ways from Sunday (higher res, more maps, etc). :-)
