For those wondering, the new multi-touch iPod nano does not run iOS. This was confirmed to CultofMac backstage at yesterday's event by an Apple spokesperson.
So for those hoping to be able to jailbreak the device and install various widgets, this may not be possible.
Interestingly, it seems that the Apple TV is in fact running iOS; although this wasn't mentioned at all in the keynote.
According to Daring Fireball's John Gruber, "The device is running iOS, though, trust me. So it’s possible that some sort of SDK is coming in the future. But I’m not going to hold my breath. Judging from the demo today, I think the fact that it’s running iOS under the hood is just an implementation detail."
