Not sure I follow. The iPod touch 4G is retina.

One way to go about this could be to make a 4” iPhone that is simply a scaled up 3.5” iPhone. It would be kind of like the 14” iBook which had the same resolution as the 12” iBook, but apart from that was pretty much the same machine.
I was just thinking of the 14-inch iBook earlier today. So yes, this isn't unprecedented. But I think that machine was the exception rather than the rule, and I doubt they were very proud of it.
