As far as I know, they just licensed the embedded Pixo OS. Nothing wrong with that 
But who knows what the future will bring? Apple always surprises me. (I sure hope it's a good surprise  )

I would doubt very much if Apple used Pixo technology for anything beyond the iPod. They've got enough in house knowledge and power to do just about anything else. It might've been cheaper in the long run for Apple to use Pixo as opposed to bogging down their onsite engineers.
