And that business model is exactly what? Androids business model is Android 
Market. As far as i know there are no "Ubuntu Market/Store". And know a web 
store where I can buy a T-skirt doesn't count. I know that Canonical also has 
commercial support of Ubuntu in some regions. There is a System -> help in 
Ubuntu and help menu's in most apps, however i cannot find any info on 
commercial support anywhere. Shouldn't it be there somewhere? 

Apple's business model is different and should be. They are strictly hierarchal 
with Jobs at the top making all decisions. Ubuntu is community driven. Its not 
just supported by its community but influenced by it. If we dont like something 
in the OS we can patch it. Apples user cant do that. But yes in the end its up 
to canonical to find a working business model.
