Were there any other devices plugged into your PS3 at the time? I can't imagine the PS3 doesn't support powering devices through USB, so I'm wondering if there were other devices drawing power from the hub at the time, meaning there wasn't enough power for your iPod to draw as well.
Either way, any USB port *should* at the very least provide the 5V power line even without knowing what is plugged in there, which makes it strange that your PS3 wouldn't charge it. I wonder if the PS3 similarly wouldn't power homebrew USB devices...
Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.
