I sincerely doubt it. I think it's just that the Nanos and Shuffles didn't have it before, so it's a new feature. As the 6g iPod Classic and the iPod Touch are the siblings of the 5.5 generation, they inherit their feature set, i.e. gapless playback.

I had a 4 G nano hdd and a shuffle, both first generation that didn't support gapless.
I have a 4 G nano flash, second generation that already supports gapless.

Actually, all iPod nanos use flash memory. Apple released the 1G iPod mini and 2G iPod mini (a year later), both of those used hard drives. Then Apple came out with the 1G iPod nano and 2G iPod nano (again, a year later) both of which used flash memory. Now the 3G iPod nano continues that flash memory trend.

As for the iPod shuffle (since I forgot to comment about them in my other post), I have a 2G shuffle and I don't think it has gapless audio playback. That is not what the iPod shuffle is marketed towards anyway.

Edit: Here is a time line for the smaller iPods:
2003 - 1G iPod mini (HDD based), it came in only one 4GB size.
2004 - 2G iPod mini (HDD based), it came in both 4GB and 6GB sizes.
2005 - 1G iPod nano (NAND flash based), it 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB sizes.
2006 - 2G iPod nano (NAND flash based) in 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB sizes.
2007 - 3G iPod nano (NAND flash) in 4GB and 8GB capacities.
