I think that it's important to distinguish that it wouldn't be an ipod nano touch (or whatever), but really just an ipod nano. The key would be a smaller size, or larger screen, but in either case, it would take up the entire device (imagine a cut in half current ipod nano).
The problem would be that on such as small screen your finger would block a substantial part while browsing music. On the other hand, while jogging (etc.) flicking through your music would vastly improve the user experience.
I think with the size the way it is (can't get much smaller, though, while have a screen and a touchwheel) it will be a while before a touchscreen and smaller size (although I could see a wide version, sort of opposite of 2g nano) make it a do-er. Plus, with the amazing profit margins on the current nanos, and the nanos being the "cheap" ipods (i.e. must have a $149 or less model) I don't see Apple taking the profit hit.
