Ports aren't planned, they're started and worked on by interested individuals (typically who own the hardware being ported to and have some experience with programming).

That being said, there is currently no port in the works, since the iPod Classic (as well as others) has entirely different hardware than the older iPods, and the firmware is encrypted.

I'm locking this thread, not out of anger or as an insult, but as there is no substantive discussion on this topic which does not belong in the existing "New Ports" thread.
